  "account": "The latest Pixel app update introduces a new icon for the Weather feature and some minor interface changes. The once-blue background has been replaced with a more consistent look across all Pixel apps. Pixel Weather and Recorder are among the apps affected by this design push, along with Google Calculator and Clock. Despite these changes, the core functionality of Pixel Weather remains unchanged.\n\nA new time display has been added below the city name in the top-left corner, showing the \"Updated xx:xx\" time to ensure users always see the most recent data. Additionally, the \"AI Weather Report\" feed and Settings have been renamed to \"Weather Brief.\" However, no changes have been made to the available widgets, which still only offer two styles. The developer has hinted at more style options being needed in the future.\n\nPixel Weather version 1.1.20260626.962582759 is being rolled out widely through the Google Play Store today.
