The latest Google Home app update is now rolling out, bringing expanded voice controls to Gemini for Home along with smaller changes that should make managing automations less of a chore, Android Authority reports.
Richer voice controls
Gemini for Home, the assistant built into Google's smart-home ecosystem, gains expanded voice controls — letting users steer more devices and scenes by voice without reaching for the screen.
Easier automation management
The update also ships quieter changes aimed at simplifying how automations are created and edited in the app, a long-standing pain point for users.
The move fits Google's broader push to weave Gemini across its consumer products, from search to the smart home.
