Can you all post a screenshot?

I'm seeing the same on my Pixel 10 Pro, since the update in late December. Pretty disappointed this isn't being rolled back or fixed yet. Does windy acknowledge this bug?

Here's a screen recording: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xvFtmtjAkRvLsrNg6

@beandoggle just to add, I've now tried multiple versions of the webviewer thing that the pop-up error message suggests, clearing cache etc. This is a windy problem, not a pixel problem. Issue occurs both in app and when viewing windy on Chrome on the phone. Please fix ASAP admins, thanks in advance!

@robembury Hi, what device do you use? We tested the behaviour on multiple devices, and this error occurred only on devices Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL in combination with Android 16. It seems there is some SW/HW problem leading to WebGL crashes. We will try our best to find an alternative solution to fix it, but keep in mind that the source of the problem is not Windy, and it could only be resolved with a new OS version/patch.

I have the same problem. Brand new Pixel 10 Pro XL. Worked great with my old Pixel 4 XL!

Same device and same issue. I am using latest stable release with all apps updated.

@schilpat I tested your latest releases on my Pixel 10 Pro, here are the results. It's clear that this WebGL error started to pop up starting with version 48.0.2. Some change was introduced either directly or through some dependency which causes this issue.

version	release_date	result
48.0.4	2026.01.07	crash
48.0.2	2025.12.23	crash
47.2.1	2025.12.08	working
47.1.4	2025.10.30	working
47.1.3	2025.09.25	working
46.1.0	2025.09.16	working

It may or may not be related but a few times in the past few weeks I encountered some WebGL errors in desktop Firefox too.

Hello there, we already fixed this issue and there is an updated version 48.0.5 available in Google Play. Please download this latest version and let us know about the result.
