Google has announced the start of distribution for all users of an important update to Google Home. An app on a smartphone can now serve as a TV remote control.
The Google Home app has long allowed you to set up and control various Google devices – Nest, Chromecast and smart home gadgets.
Last August, Google announced a redesign of the app’s controls. The new preview interface began limited testing with some users a couple of weeks ago, and is now being rolled out to everyone. Users get full screen touch controls for their TVs.
Need to lower the volume or change the channel, but the remote has disappeared somewhere?
As announced by Google, users can now “control playback, change channels, adjust the volume and more” on the TV from the Home app.
