TL;DR<\/p>\n

Samsung removed pollen tracking from its Weather app a little while ago, but it\u2019s back in the leaked One UI 8.5 build we tested.
\nThis build shows tree, grass, and ragweed pollen levels on color-coded leaf icons, linking to Weather.com for details.
\nThe same version also refreshes the Weather app\u2019s navigation buttons, borrowing design cues from iOS.<\/p>\n

Samsung Weather gives you most of the staples you expect from that type of app<\/a>, like temperature, UV index, and so on. However, one notable omission of late has been pollen counts. For some reason, Samsung decided to get rid of the pollen tracker back in the One UI 7 days. Allergy sufferers quickly noticed the loss, as disgruntled posts on Reddit<\/a> and Samsung\u2019s own forums<\/a> attest. At best, people could still dig into Weather.com through a buried link at the bottom of the app, but the dedicated pollen cards were gone. It looks like that might be about to change.<\/p>\n

In the leaked One UI 8.5 build<\/a> we\u2019ve been testing, those pollen cards are back. The Weather app once again shows tree, grass, and ragweed pollen, each on a color-coded leaf icon with severity levels like \u201cNone,\u201d \u201cLow,\u201d and \u201cModerate\u201d to give people with allergies a heads up.<\/p>\n

When you tap any of the three leaves, you\u2019re redirected to Weather.com for a more detailed breakdown, including forecasts for the days ahead. And this isn\u2019t the only change we\u2019re seeing in the One UI 8.5 Weather app.<\/p>\n

As the images above show, the same build updates its interface with some iOS-inspired tweaks. The back arrow, search icon, and three-dot menu all get a new look in line with the broader visual refresh Samsung is preparing with One UI 8.5.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear whether the pollen tracker will roll out to all Galaxy phones or remain limited by region. Since the app relies on Weather.com as its source, availability will likely vary depending on local coverage. Still, its reappearance is a welcome addition if you rely on this data to decide when to keep the windows shut.<\/p>\n

\u26a0\ufe0f An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n
