Google TV Home Update Adds 'Report History,' Surfaces Assistant Settings, Fixes YouTube Thumbnails

The incremental rollout through Google TV Home underscores Google's move to deliver visible changes via app updates instead of full OS releases.

Overview

  • Version 1.0.852105632 is rolling out with minor homescreen tweaks and newly visible settings entries.
  • The update introduces a Report history menu that shows the status of reports users have submitted, though Google has not specified which report types are included.
  • Google Home and Voice assistant/Gemini sections under Accounts & profiles are now easier to access after being absent from widely available mid‑2025 builds.
  • A recent fix improves YouTube video thumbnail previews on the Google TV homescreen, likely delivered server‑side or via the YouTube app.
  • Some users have reported smaller homescreen thumbnails, but that change has not been confirmed by reporters observing the update.
