Overview
- The update began rolling out Thursday and covers two areas: Gemini for Home in early access and new Google Home app features on Android and iOS.
- Gemini for Home adds finer voice control so the assistant better recognizes Spotify requests, accepts precise kelvin values for light color temperature, and supports a two-step broadcast flow where you say “broadcast” then speak your message.
- The Google Home app now shows separate latch and unlock states for compatible European-style smart locks and enforces a single temperature unit across app, voice commands, and Google Nest devices to avoid mismatches.
- Camera fixes include an Android repair that stops live feeds from getting stuck at 360p and iOS fixes that reduce camera-related crashes and keep offline player controls visible for easier troubleshooting.
- Google Home Premium will now surface clear billing-failure alerts in the app to help users update payment details before losing subscription features such as camera history, which should lessen unexpected service interruptions.
