Google Home app brings faster, smarter camera streaming in latest update
- The latest Google Home app update promises smoother live streaming and more reliable camera performance by preventing phantom offline messages and reducing latency.
- Google has also shared release notes for the app’s previous update to version 3.37, which introduced camera tile previews and fixed multiple bugs, including one that caused the app to crash at startup.
Google has shared release notes for version 3.38 of the Google Home app. The update started rolling out earlier this month, and we now know that it focuses on smoother, more reliable camera performance as well as some important bug fixes.
Released on August 4, Google notes that the update delivers two under-the-hood improvements for Nest and compatible Google Home cameras. First, the app will now more accurately report whether a camera is online or offline, helping prevent frustrating phantom offline messages some users have noticed in the past. Second, Google Home users can expect reduced latency when starting a live view, thanks to better signalling that makes the first frame appear faster and streaming more dependable.
