Google is reportedly enhancing the Google Weather app available on Pixel devices with a new Immersive Weather Vibrations feature. The app was launched earlier this year on Pixel 9 devices and later expanded to more Pixel models. This new feature will enhance the weather viewing experience by introducing unique vibration patterns based on current weather conditions.
