Google wants to tidy up the event feed in its Home app to make it easier to see what\u2019s happening in your smart home. An update coming later this month will feature a \u201cclutter free layout,\u201d the search giant says<\/a>, and it will group related entries to avoid you having to scroll through \u201ca list of repetitive events.\u201d The above screenshot released by the company shows a more concise, streamlined design.<\/p>\n

Alongside this feed update, the company has officially announced a new centralized privacy section, as well as the updated controls that started appearing last week<\/a>. The privacy section is launching this week, and allows you to manage household settings like presence sensing and offers an easy view of your data. Meanwhile, the new smart home controls offer a simple at-a-glance view of the status of your smart home devices without requiring as many taps, similar to the controls Google included with Android 11<\/a>. They\u2019ll roll out \u201cover the next few weeks,\u201d Google says.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re welcome additions to the Google Home app, which has remained largely unchanged since its last major redesign in 2018<\/a> (barring a color changing light update<\/a> in 2019). Unfortunately Google\u2019s post doesn\u2019t mention whether they\u2019ll reduce the amount of ads for Google services that currently plague the home feed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
