You can now control your home applications with Google's home app. How? Know more about it

You can now control your home applications with Google's home app, you can use it to operate TVs, fans, air purifiers, and even vacuums. The Google's Home app touch controls may now be used to operate TVs that are compatible with Nest Hub. It was revealed back in August 2022 that the Google Home app would get the ability to operate well-known smart home appliances. The device's control page was expected to be updated with the controls. Users are now also able to access the new controls on the Google Home app as a result of the official announcement.

The new touch controls reportedly let users adjust the volume up or down, mute or unmute, turn the power on or off, play or pause, change the channel, or choose the source. The Google Home app is currently receiving these control features, which were previously only available for Nest Hub devices. According to user reports, the Google Home app has undergone adjustments (version 2.62.1.9). Furthermore, a server-side update is how the new Google Home TV controls will be available. Additionally, certain devices, but not all of them, have controls.

The controls, however, differ somewhat from those on Android TVs and Google Cast-enabled TVs. Owners of LG and Samsung TVs are reportedly noticing modifications to the Google Home app. Do keep in mind that only a small number of users have access to this feature, and it isn't yet rolling out extensively. Therefore, you might need to wait a little while if you don't notice any new controls.
