The latest release notes — version 3.33 — for the Google Home app on Android and iOS are now available.

Google Home 3.33 widely rolled out a few weeks ago. The changelog was just released today, but is dated May 28, 2025.

On Android, Google is emphasizing “substantially improved scrubbing framerate and loading performance” for video history.

From our internal testing, we’ve found that these changes have significantly improved the average scrubbing frame rate and reduced the fraction of time spent loading or frozen.

This is coming to Google Home for iOS in a future update. Meanwhile, there are a number of crash fixes.
