Your smart home just got an upgrade. So far this year, we’ve made significant updates designed to make the Google Home app faster, more intuitive and more powerful. Here’s what’s new:

A modernized camera experience

We’ve modernized the camera interface to provide an improved experience and faster navigation. Key upgrades include:

  • Alerts with zoomed-in previews: Automatically focus subjects in event notifications.
  • Improved navigation: Enjoy smoother video scrubbing and more precise camera controls.
  • Enhanced event list: Scroll through your timeline without closing the video player.

Seamless management across surfaces

We are bringing the power of Google Home to more places:

  • Robust automations and control: Expanded automation traits now allow you to monitor everything from robot vacuums to battery levels with ease.
  • Ask Home on web: Coming soon to Public Preview, you’ll be able to search camera history and create automations from your computer.
  • Improved app notifications: Quick Action buttons let Public Preview users instantly jump from an alert to the exact device panel, easily switching between properties.
