Google finally brings some relief to older Chromecast owners
The latest Google Home update should get affected devices working again.
Google has finally addressed a frustrating issue that older Chromecast owners have been facing. The Google Home app had been preventing some users from setting up their devices, causing confusion and frustration. Affected Chromecast models were those running older software versions, and the problem seemed to emerge earlier this year.
An update to the Google Home app compounded the issue, leaving some users unable to set up their older Chromecast devices with certain apps. After weeks of complaints, Google has taken action to resolve the setup problem. In an update to a Reddit thread where users were reporting the issue, Google confirmed that the fix is now available.
To remedy the situation, Google advises affected users to update the Google Home app to version 4.26 or newer and attempt setting up their devices once again. This should clear up any remaining confusion over whether older devices had simply reached the end of their support.
