Google Home bug is repeatedly asking some users to set up the app again
Some smart homes keep forgetting who's in charge.
Google Home app users are encountering a persistent bug that repeatedly prompts them to sign in or complete the setup process upon launching the application. This issue has been reported since mid-October, with complaints surfacing regarding versions 4.34.22 and 4.35.25.1. However, the extent of the problem remains unclear, as it does not appear to be widespread. Currently, there is no confirmed solution to the issue, but users who are experiencing it can attempt to update the app to version 4.36.24 or later.
The Google Home app is designed to recognize and remember connected smart home devices. Despite this, some users have reported that the app is struggling to remember these devices. For at least two weeks, the app has been repeatedly welcoming existing users as if they were opening it for the first time, transforming a typical interaction with smart home controls into an unexpected account setup routine.
Affected users note that instead of being taken to their usual dashboard, they are greeted with a welcome screen each time they launch Google Home, forcing them to select or set up their Google account before being able to access their connected devices.
