Gemini for Home now understands the stop command and ends chats naturally

Google rolled out its October update for Gemini for Home, making the assistant stop speaking when told to stop and reply with a brief goodbye when users say thank you. The Google Home app also gets redesigned controls for third-party lights, plugs and switches, plus automatic Philips Hue bridge upgrades for local Matter control.

• Saying "stop" immediately mutes the microphone with no closing remark
