Google is rolling out a July 2026 update to Gemini for Home that extends conversational memory to 15 minutes across the entire experience and brings Gemini Live to the first-generation Google Home Mini and Nest Hub. The update ships alongside Google Home app version 4.22 and new Nest Cam firmware focused on connectivity and reliability fixes.

Google has upgraded its Home smart assistant to Gemini 3.1, enabling users to combine multiple tasks in a single voice command. The update follows last month's improvements to natural language understanding and comes after reports of accuracy issues in the smart home platform.
