A helpful home is a private home.
Protecting your privacy starts with one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so that they’re secure by default. The built-in security in your Google Account automatically detects and blocks threats before they reach you, so that your personal information is secure.

We build privacy tools that keep you in control.
Control your Google Assistant activity, privacy settings, information, and personal preferences. See your activity, delete it manually, or choose to delete it automatically. Control your privacy on Google Assistant with your voice. Ask questions like “Where can I change my privacy settings?” to get answers to the most common privacy and security questions.

Visit the Google Nest Safety Center at safety.google/nest to learn more about how we protect your information and respect your privacy.

Ratings and reviews

Now I'm having issue and when I come home from work. The Google Chromecast doesn't even show up on the network and it won't let me cast to my TV on anything like YouTube, Netflix or anything. I have to keep hard reseting the device every day when I get home to just get it to work again. I've been doing this for at least a week now. Before that, I've had it for a year and never had to do this until recently. At least been going on for a week, maybe 2 weeks. It's getting really frustrating.

Google branded cameras (Floodlight) go offline when WiFi is interrupted, still get notifications about motion and can see the motion video and audio, but cannot see live video. Google cameras suck, no way to get support for these in app at all! Update: they fixed the issue with a firmware update! It was great being able to talk with the team about the issue and they actually resolved it in just a few days! Great work!

It really only works half of the time and can be pretty frustrating, but when it does work it is glorious. I just wish it worked more times than it does. Using groups doesn't always work and is not synced most of the time which is also frustrating. Quite a bit has been invested in having multiple speakers to have "surround sound" to play music while getting work done. When the system doesn't work correctly, it can take too much time trying to troubleshoot or reset the system to just start.

What's new

Over the next few days we’ll be rolling out the following:

With the Google Home app you can control and manage compatible lights, cameras, TVs, and more – all from one place.
