Google has rolled out a new update to the Google Home app on Android, introducing noticeable improvements to its home screen controls. The latest update focuses on delivering a smoother experience with enhanced widget performance and better overall responsiveness.
A key highlight of this release is a more battery-efficient widget designed to curb background power consumption while keeping controls readily accessible. In addition to optimizing battery usage, the update minimizes the appearance of gray device tiles, helping connected smart devices display their active statuses more reliably.
These refinements ensure that managing smart lights, thermostats, and other accessories directly from the Android home screen is faster and far less prone to UI delays or false inactive states.
