Overview
- A detailed changelog listing more than 20 fixes was briefly posted by Google and then removed, with Droid Life publishing the captured contents; Google has not released version numbers or a complete rollout schedule.
- Gemini for Home in early access will get multiple voice improvements, including better command detection amid background noise, faster responses for common requests, improved Find My Phone reliability, stronger multilingual recognition, and more reliable routine-triggered custom commands and conversation follow-ups.
- Google Home app fixes target visible device controls and automations: sliding brightness to 0% now sends a full power‑off command, camera and doorbell tiles show clear online status, Matter switches render correct offline states, Favorites long-press gestures work reliably, and automation creation now shows full parent device names for multi-button devices.
- Setup and camera changes include under‑the‑hood Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi fixes for smoother Nest device setup, caching of network credentials to speed standalone device additions, a Doorbell Ringtone audio preview in the app, and multiple camera playback bug fixes that address timeline loading, false “Video not available” messages, and stuttering.
- Because these are staged, early‑access quality‑of‑life updates rather than a single wide release, users should expect incremental regional rollouts and variable timing across Android, iOS and different Nest or third‑party devices.
