How to Use the New Feature:
If you want to check the weather or air quality, just search for the place you’re curious about on Google Maps. Click on the weather icon, and you’ll get a quick look at the current weather conditions. But that’s not all – you can also get more details and a forecast by expanding the weather display.
This feature works on both Android and iOS versions of the Google Maps app. It’s like having your own weatherman in your pocket, giving you the lowdown on the weather wherever you go. Google Maps gets its weather data from weather.com, so you can trust that it’s accurate and up-to-date for your specific location.

Other Features:
Google Maps doesn’t stop at just weather updates. Now you can also use the app to stay in the loop about wildfires, share your live location with friends, and get updates, photos, and reviews from people you follow. The coolest part is the live location sharing – it’s super easy to use. Just add your friends on Google, and you’ll see a “share location” button when you check their info. This button lets you share where you are at that moment or all the time. And the best part? You can turn it off whenever you want.
You can even set it to share your location for specific times, so it stops automatically when you’re done. But if you want to keep sharing, you can do that too. This is a step up from apps like WhatsApp, which only let you share your location for a limited time. Google’s version is built right into Android phones, so you don’t need any extra apps. It’s a game-changer for Android users who want an easy way to share their location.
