Overview
- Google says common smart‑home commands now run up to 1.5 seconds faster after back‑end tuning of command processing and home layouts, with support live for English, French, and Spanish in supported countries.
- The assistant now separates standalone requests from follow‑ups and ignores stray speech, which improves Continued Conversation and keeps custom routines from being interrupted.
- The Home app is rolling out a modernized camera view with dynamic theming and simpler controls, plus AI timeline summaries for Advanced plan subscribers of Google Home Premium.
- Camera tools also get clearer event labels, faster search in Ask Home, and quicker setup for Activity Zones that define where motion is watched.
- A new media control screen shows larger artwork with easier playback and device management, while reliability gets a boost from instant account‑relink prompts, richer diagnostics, a Google Home Vitals dashboard for partners, and an account‑hold option that protects Premium video history during payment lapses.
