With the latest 4.1 update, the “Ask Home” feature, powered by Gemini, is expanding to more Google Home Premium subscribers.
The update should also make the app feel smoother, especially on iOS. Google notes that if you’ve got several camera feeds marked as favorites, scrolling through the Home tab should now feel noticeably more responsive.
Android users are also getting a small but handy fix. The “All on” button for lights will now correctly gray out when all lights are not turned on, improving accuracy in the Lights category.
Lastly, Google has cleared up a slight confusion in Ask Home’s “Home Brief” titles, which sometimes mislabeled updates from the previous day as “today’s”
