I use mine to hear headlines every morning using podcasts like cbc news at sunrise.

Thanks for the update, Josh! Over here in Belgium, still no support for the “keep talking” feature in Dutch, and also can’t use my Apple Music subscription. I wonder what’s taking them so long.

Do you know when they will fix the snapshot screen on the google assistant app? It used to show all of my calendars and things from email like due dates or flight itinerary but now it only shows the weather. 😢

I have a nest thermostat that I want to control a smart plug any idea how this can be arranged?

[hansito]

Oh dear, is Deezer yet another feature exclusively for the US customers? I can’t choose that in music-settings.

[podzim-]

Do you know when the Polish language will be available?

[ricardoterena]

Is there any equivalent function to Alexa "drop in" to establish a communication between two devices?

[naikvanderW]

what if you do not have Apple but Xiaomi 200 series, which is so smart it auto selects Google top apps for Apple but is actually on my Android 11 phone

since this update my google mini no longer works, no matter if i factory reset, change wifi, delete from app and re-setup, when i say "Okay google" all i get is "your google home isn't setup yet, to get started download on your phone or tablet"

[angelagolzio]

Annnnd still cant put the date on front page 🤦🏻‍♀️....Alexa is so much smoother

Sweet new iphone integration, now the only update I really want is broadcasts to and from phones

[RazzoGatto]

I can't wait to get these features in 5 years :)
And to the idiot who just don't get it, google is painfully slow in rolling out features outside the US. But on the other hand, I can go to the hospital without getting ruined lol

Happy for iphone users, because now they can find their phone 😅 But at all, it's sad that there's no really interesting upgrades, but I think Google have a lot of things to improve or add to their products. But that google duplex thing it's sound really amazing

Still Amazon Alexa takes the leadership in several aspects .I wish to see the other way round.

Amazon Alexa is the best for home automation, it has the most skills.
Also, Google can't add a device to more than 1 room or group; example: kitchen and family room are adjacent to each other and I want the lights in both room to turn
off if I say all, as well as independently turning off either room.
Alexa is inexpensive so I bought 8 to equip every room with Amazon Alexa for voice control so that I can just ask 'turn off the lights' and the echo in that room
knows to turn off those lights and not other lights in the house.
Google app's fonts are really really really tiny for my old eyes.
All 8 of my Amazon Echo devices have a clock... very convenient to tell the time or see a timer's countdown.
or better sound, I have a few of my Amazon Echo dot 3 with clock output the sound via its 3.5mm headphone jack to my Denon HEOS speakers.

Honestly after decking most of the house with Google Home, I’m really disappointed with how finicky and poorly organised their software is. My devices hardly understand me even when speaking clearly. They are laggy, boring, and stupid. Can’t wait to upgrade to Alexa.

Dude, Google Home sucks Ass. if you read the Google Home reviews in the google play store, most of them are 1 star reviews, ever since they merged Google Nest & Google Wifi to google home! Why dont you make a video on that? I dare you to get some Google Wifi Mesh routers and try to make them work on Google Home, without them constantly disconnecting every couple of minutes! I Challenge you, Josh Teder... and make sure you record the whole process. I DARE YOU!
