Overview
- Google confirmed to Android Authority that only phone-related actions inside Google Home automations are being removed in early May.
- Device messages warned that “phone actions and automations will no longer be available,” which caused confusion about wider feature loss.
- Android Authority first reported the confusing alerts, then published Google’s clarification after asking the company for details.
- Removed actions include checking a phone’s battery level, turning Do Not Disturb on or off, and setting the phone’s volume.
- Other automations will keep working, so users only need to update routines that rely on phone functions.
