Google Home update makes Gemini better in noisy rooms and fixes light, camera and Nest setup quirks

Google’s latest Home app update focuses on making Gemini for Home more dependable in everyday use. Google says the assistant now filters background conversation better in noisy rooms, responds faster, handles multilingual households more reliably and does a better job with Find My Phone. The update also changes light controls so dragging brightness to 0% turns supported bulbs off, makes active camera and doorbell tiles easier to spot with filled icons, and smooths Nest setup on Android and iOS with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi pairing and cached credential fixes. Android Authority reports fixes including Matter switches showing offline status and Walmart Onn camera history loading, while 9to5Google reports new in-app Nest Doorbell ringtone previews.
