With the last major overhaul in 2019, Google simplified the Home app to have two primary screens of four. Google Home now has settings for the “Feed” adjust tab to “to choose the type of opportunities” which may appear.
There’s a new button in the top left corner of the second tab of Google Home today. The page “Feed adjustment settings” start with “Whole house” where Google lists two categories:
- Household routines: Home and away routine
- Wi-Fi: network status, Wi-Fi activity
“Cameras” will list the devices available in your home, and the features vary depending on the model. The Nest Cam on the Hub Max only shows “See events”, like People and Motion, but the Hello video doorbell will also show Packages. Set zones are also listed.
These new Google Home settings can make the Feed tab less overwhelming to use with its two pre-event and recent events sections that are already very busy. Discovery suggestions at the bottom are unchanged, but Google ventured the headline font for each section so.
Google first announced this feature last month with Home 2.34 – along with real-time Google / Nest Wifi stats and Nest Hub (2nd generation) support, but it’s now being rolled out widely (server-side update) on Android and iOS after this week’s 2.35 update that unveiled a new Nest device.
