  "account": "Some Google Home users are encountering a frustrating bug that prevents the voice assistant from adding items to their Google Keep shopping lists. While not all users are experiencing this issue, it appears to be widespread enough for Google to take notice.\n\nUpon investigating Google Home settings, it seems that access to notes and lists using a voice assistant may have been removed, leading to the current glitch. It seems as though Google Home has become infamous for bugs and fixes almost on a daily basis.\n\nRecently, users received some positive news after reports surfaced of devices refusing to set alarms over voice commands. However, it now looks like Google Home has once again become the subject of a similar glitch, this time preventing users from adding items to their Google Keep lists using voice commands.\n\nOn Reddit, multiple users have reported the same issue, with one posting a complaint on Friday. The user claims that their Google Home device recognizes their commands perfectly well, responding appropriately to queries. However, it refuses to add any new items to their shopping list when asked, such as when requesting \"add x to list xyz\". The assistant may even respond by informing the user of the current number of items on the list, but it will not add any new items.",
