Google Home is acting up, but Google’s already got a fix on the way

Some Google Home users are encountering a slew of errors in the Google Home mobile app, though the web version seems to be functioning normally. The tech giant has confirmed the bug and announced that a fix is on its way.

One individual reported that wiping the cache and storage, as well as switching to a different Wi-Fi network, resolved the issue for them. If we compiled an exhaustive list of Google Home problems we have encountered recently, it would be quite extensive. In the last month alone, reports include issues with alarm routines and smart lights, as well as a peculiar bug where connected devices would not respond to straightforward inquiries.

Now, users are facing a wave of problems in the Home app, and it appears Google is already preparing a solution. An affected user shared their story on Reddit, detailing how the Google Home has become "very slow" and shows errors when interacting with any of their connected devices. They also noted that reinstalling the app triggers an "Internal error encountered" message accompanied by a loading indicator.
