Pollen Info

[ChristinaMG2604]

Anyone else notice that pollen info has been removed from the weather app or is it just me? I used to use this every summer as I suffer with allergies and now that the sun's out again I've visited the app only to notice it's no longer there 😞

It’s not just you! Many users have noticed that pollen count data has disappeared from certain weather apps (like Apple Weather, AccuWeather, or others), and it’s super frustrating—especially for allergy sufferers who relied on it.

Possible Reasons Why It’s Missing:

1. Data Provider Changes – Some weather apps rely on third-party sources (like The Weather Channel, BreezoMeter, or Aeris) for pollen info. If the partnership ended or the API changed, the feature may have been dropped.

2. App Update Glitch – Sometimes updates accidentally remove features (or hide them under a new menu). Check if pollen data is buried in an "Air Quality" or "Health" subsection.

3. Regional Limitations – Pollen tracking might still be available in some countries but removed in others due to licensing.

4. Monetization Shift – A few apps now lock pollen data behind premium subscriptions (looking at you, AccuWeather).

What You Can Do:

✔ Try Alternative Apps – These still show pollen counts (often with more detail):

• Pollen Wise (crowdsourced allergy reports)

• WebMD Allergy (forecasts + symptom tips)

• MyRadar (with pollen overlay)

• The Weather Channel (if your old app dropped it)

✔ Check Hidden Settings – On iPhone, try:

• Weather App → Tap the map icon (bottom-left) → Tap the three-line menu → See if "Pollen" is toggleable.

✔ Submit Feedback – Complain to the app developer! The more requests they get, the likelier it’ll return.

Pro Tip: Google "pollen forecast [your city]" for direct websites (like Pollen.com) that still track it.

I haven't. Has the app updated in any way? You can always try another app or website. It could just be a glitch.

I'm using the built in Weather Channel App on my S25 Ultra. There's no pollen info hidden anywhere as it seems it's been removed completely.

Scroll down in the weather app, click today, Scroll again and its there. But if in the UK I highly recommend Met Office as its alot more reliable.

[ChristinaMG2604]

Not there for me 😞
I've been using met office online for the info

I had to scroll down, its strange why its not showing for u maybe its something to do with the area ur in?

[ChristinaMG2604]

I'm not sure. I'd assume it would be available in the UK

@ChristinaMG2604: I have checked the Weather Channel widget, and Pollen count information should be visible on the home page by scrolling all the way to the bottom. For clarity, I'm seeing the following in my region:

Pollen - High

Running - Good

Driving difficulty - None

I used to see it on my S24 Ultra but not seeing it on my S25 Ultra. It's not on the widget itself nor on the website when you click an option and get transferred.
