According to a source, Google Home is getting a new look that should make it much more intuitive. The upcoming 2.49 update will enable you to interact with all of your devices from a single screen, similar to the device control panel found on phones running Android 11 and higher.
According to the update’s release notes on the App Store, Google is attempting to make the app significantly more user-friendly than it already is, claiming that it would let you “easily discover what you’re searching for, dim your compatible lights, and adjust the music volume in a snap.” More precisely, you’ll be able to tap a device to turn it on or off, slide left or right on certain parts, such as lights or speakers, to modify brightness and loudness, and long-press a device to reveal further options.
Google Home underwent its most significant design update in 2018 — and later added controls for changing the color of your lights — but has remained essentially unchanged since then.
