- Google Home cannot currently access its Activity feed nor the app’s Settings
- Device controls and routines still work as normal.
A nice smart home is awesome once you’ve got it all set up and configured — all the routines you’ll need created, all the automations defined, and all your devices behaving as they should. But it can also seem a bit like a house of cards, and it often only takes one weak link there for the whole system to start feeling janky and unresponsive. Right now Google Home is experiencing somewhat of a service interruption, and while it’s not quite to the point where we can’t turn our lights on, it’s nonetheless pretty annoying.
Open up the Google Home on your phone right now, and things should look pretty normal at first — you can still check on devices, control your Google Wifi, use your lights, and run routines. But keep working your way across the screens on the app’s bottom nav bar, and you’ll start running into trouble.
