Google says that it's working on a fix, but with some problems dating back over a year, is it too little, too late? It's also emerged that Google Home speakers have been experiencing issues with Bluetooth connectivity. Without that, guests now need the full Wi-Fi password instead. Guests without Wi-Fi credentials could get a four-digit pin, which would be used to directly connect to the speaker. It's not all good news, though Google quietly removed a handy Google Home feature called Guest Mode, which used to be a way to cast media to a Google Cast-enabled device without sharing the same Wi-Fi service. That's not the only change to Google Home products, however – the company is trialling simpler controls for its Nest smart displays, including the Google Nest Hub Max. The Google Home app is getting a redesign, hopefully making it simpler to use and to control your other smart home devices. Now you can even teach the voice assistant to better recognize your voice (opens in new tab) so you can receive personalized results to your commands and queries. Your Google Home is changing all the time – that's because new updates are being added to Google Assistant all the time.
Google Home may not be perfect, but it’s sure to get better over time as Google continues to work on its AI voice assistant technology, Google Assistant, and we’ll be updating our review regularly as new functionality continues to be added. One way Google has addressed this is by adding Multiple Actions and Continued Conversation, with both making it easier to ask multiple questions at the same time.
In due time, both devices will get smarter, but for now, they do make some errors. That general problem – something working sometimes, but not all the time – isn’t just symptomatic of the $89 / £89 / AU$128 Google Home its biggest rival, the Amazon Echo, is far from immune to them as well. Of course, voice assistants aren't perfect, and sometimes you may find your questions are lost in translation when speaking to Google Assistant.
