Google Home update makes Gemini more reliable and improves Find My Phone

Google rolled out an update to Gemini for Home that filters background noise, speeds up responses to timer, alarm, media and smart home commands, and makes Find My Phone more reliable. The Google Home app also fixed bugs with smart lights, security cameras and video doorbells.

• Gemini for Home launched in October 2025, replacing Google Assistant
• The assistant now filters background noise and supports multilingual households better
• Lights at 0% brightness now switch off instead of staying at minimum
• Camera and doorbell tiles show filled icons when devices are online
