Google’s latest Gemini for Home update targets a few issues, like one where speakers randomly blurt out “I didn’t understand” when no one asks.
The second October Gemini for Home update was released by Google today. It bundles a few fixes with a lengthy section in the changelog dedicated to the Google Home app.
But there are six individual changes for Gemini within the Home app. One fix stands out the most, though. According to the update post, Google was aware that Home and Nest speakers/displays were facing a bug that would prompt them to say “Sorry, I didn’t understand” at random. That would happen unprompted, which is understandably a little unsettling. That strange bug should be fixed in this new update.
Further down, two fixes target Gemini’s ability to understand users on Google Home devices. For one, it would misunderstand requests to move music from one room to another. In other cases, it would incorrectly adjust sleep, media, or normal timers instead of the requested type. Both of those features will reportedly work as intended going forward.
The changelog includes a couple of other adjustments, which should make for an overall less stressful experience.
Updates should be live for users starting today, though it might take some time for them to roll out to everyone. Hopefully, Gemini will only let you know it doesn’t understand if it genuinely doesn’t understand.
