Google Home App Update Saves Battery Life and Boosts Camera Performance

Google has rolled out an update to its Home app that improves battery life and camera performance. The main feature is the introduction of new widgets designed to pause background updates when a phone's screen is off, which should save battery life.

The update also includes improved security camera live streams for both Android and iOS devices. For Android users, the live stream tile has been made more reliable, while video timeline scrolling is now smoother and allows users to scroll past offline gaps or unrecorded clips without freezing issues.

For iOS users, the 'Live' button has been fixed, allowing for smoother switching between recorded events. Additionally, multi-account switching has become easier, reducing errors and resets when switching between accounts.
