Google Home and Nest speakers getting seven updates, including for Bluetooth & audio quality
In addition to Chromecast with Google TV and Nest Wifi Pro updates, Google detailed what new firmware for Nest and Home speakers brings.
The Google Home, Google Home Mini, and Nest Audio benefit from “enhanced streaming performance” that should result in “smoother audio playback.”
There’s also “faster and more reliable local device discovery” in the Google Home app for the Google Home Speaker, Nest Audio, and Nest Mini.
Google has resolved an issue that prevented smart speakers from “connecting to Wi-Fi 7 access points using WPA3 security.”
The final update addresses an issue “where users were unable to end Google Meet calls using voice commands.”
Google did not specify the firmware versions for these updates, and its release notes page has not been fully updated yet (e.g., Google Home Speaker).
