Google TV updates aren’t all that frequent or major anymore, but there are new tweaks here and there, including a homescreen fixes and a couple of settings changes rolling out now.
As we’ve said repeatedly in recent years, major Android OS updates for Google TV rarely make any notable changes for the end user. Rather, most new features and visible changes stem from the “Google TV Home” app that controls your homescreen, Quick Settings, as well as portions of the Settings app.
As of Google TV Home 1.0.852105632, a couple of new tweaks are visible.
In recent months, Google TV has added new “Google Home” and “Voice assistant” sections to the Settings menu under “Accounts & profiles.” These features were added a while ago – in late 2024 for Google Home and in 2025 for Gemini – but the settings pages are a little bit newer, having not appeared in the 1.0.767786292 release which was widely available in mid-2025.
