Since the feature is designed as a cautionary alert, it is likely you won’t be able to see the AQI if it is in the green. There’s also no option to disable the AQI indicator if you don’t need it, as it could be a part of At a Glance’s “Weather” option. In the US, the AQI data is gathered from reliable providers such asAirNowandPurpleAir.

Google specified that AQI alerts are available now in the US, Australia, and India as a part of the June Feature Drop on the Pixel 4 and newer devices. AQI is alsoavailable on Google Mapsand other smart devices from the company, such as the Nest Hub.
