With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-16-qpr1-beta-3-3578635\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 update<\/a>, colorful weather icons are returning after the company briefly switched to an all-white, minimalist look in the earlier beta release.<\/p>\n<p>The shift to white icons in the first beta was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/at-a-glance-colorless-weather-icons-3574450\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">met with mixed reactions<\/a> from users. Some users appreciated the clean aesthetic, while others found the change less functional, noting that the icons blended into the background and made it harder to quickly understand weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Google now seems to be responding to that feedback. The At a Glance widget in Android 16 QPR1 Beta 3 not only brings back colorful weather icons but also increases the font size of the weather data, making it easier to read at a glance.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Eg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"At a glance white weather icons\"  alt=\"At a glance white weather icons\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/At-a-glance-white-weather-icons.jpeg\"\/>At a glance white weather icons in previous beta<img class=\"e_Eg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"At A Glace Colorful Weather Icons\"  alt=\"At A Glace Colorful Weather Icons\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/At-A-Glace-Colorful-Weather-Icons-scaled.jpeg\"\/>At a glance colorful weather icons in new beta<\/p>\n<p>The return of color improves visibility, and the weather information now stands out more clearly from the day and date, making it easier to interpret with just a quick look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
