Google announced today that its Home smart assistant is getting an update today that brings support for up to six individual people in a household, thereby allowing each person to hear their own schedule, music, reminders and other Home-controllable services.
While that’s rolling out in the US from today, it’s due ‘in the coming months’ for owners in the UK, which leaves anyone without voice range of your Home able to hear your schedule. That’s probably not a huge problem for anyone living with their family, versus a shared apartment, for example, but it’s still a frustrating limitation that will quickly see your Spotify playlists and taste profile ruined by general household use.
If you’re in the US, you should (soon, if not already) be able to see a card within the Home app telling you that the option is available. Once each individual voice is registered – and tied to a different Google account – it’ll be able to recognise the different voices and return the appropriate information specific to that person.
Of course, with Home still not able to do things like adding a calendar entry – it can read one back to you, but not add one – supporting multiple people in the home is a necessary, if not meteoric, milestone towards making the device genuinely useful.
