The Google Home app is being updated with a new and improved camera UI, among other changes.
Users on Reddit report usability issues with Google Home’s camera controls on the web; it’s unclear if the issues are related to this week’s updates.
Google’s rolling out an update for the Google Home app that should improve the smart home experience in a lot of little ways, specifically for users with cameras. Release notes for the latest Google Home update include improvements like simplified camera settings and search, as well as a new tool to fix certain offline device errors.
The update notes were published in a blog post this week. The headlining improvement is a “modernized” camera UI that includes dynamic theming, as well as AI-generated event descriptions on the camera event timeline for Google Home Premium subscribers on the Advanced plan.
