      If you have a Pixel phone, I think your weather app tracking you is the least of your worries at this point

          Yeah, but the general smartphone user is gonna want the weather where they are right now. And that means the phone needs location data and pings a server somewhere often enough to get “real-time” weather updates.

          I’m a tinkerer at heart but when I put a weather widget on my home screen, I want it updated automatically. I don’t want to have to manually refresh it every time I want up to date weather at that moment, especially on my watch.

            As soon as you can choose, fine.

            If you can add “current location” which is dynamic, or specific cities, it’s fine for me.
