Google Home outage breaks app Settings, Activity feed (Update: Restored)

  • Google Home had a problem accessing its Activity feed and the app’s Settings.
  • Device controls and routines worked as normal during this peculiar outage.
  • Google has issued a statement on the matter, and most people are reporting usual functions by now.

Update, October 4, 2024 (07:00 PM ET): Although the glitch described below appears to be fixed for many folks, we did receive word from Google on an explanation for the problem. Here is the company’s statement:

We’ve received reports of a small number of users experiencing issues with the Activity feed and Settings tab on the Google Home app on Android. We are currently rolling out a fix and will update users when the issue is resolved. In the meantime, users experiencing device issues should submit feedback through the Google Home app and contact Google Support at g.co/nest/contact.
