Android Authority reports that an upcoming addition to the Google Home app will be a search bar, a feature that has been long overdue. This search bar will greatly enhance the navigation experience within the app, especially for users with a large number of smart home devices listed.
The APK teardown by Android Authority unveiled this upcoming feature, which may still be subject to changes before the final release. The search bar will not only improve functionality but will also integrate Material You themes for customized aesthetics based on your phone’s settings.
This search bar addition will make it easier for users to locate specific smart home devices within the app. It is anticipated to provide a more streamlined experience for managing and controlling smart home devices. Additionally, Google has also revamped the thermostat controls in a previous update.
It is advisable to allocate easily recognizable names to your devices to facilitate quick searches. Avoid leaving default names like “Sensor 04027” to enhance efficiency.
