Google outlined firmware changes for its Nest and Home speakers, including audio improvements and fixes for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, device discovery, speaker groups, and voice controls. It did not specify firmware versions.

Google says streaming and speaker-pair volume changes should improve audio playback, while local device discovery in the Google Home app should be faster and more reliable.
The firmware addresses Bluetooth playback resuming, connections to Wi-Fi 7 access points using WPA3, and visibility of speaker groups and stereo pairs.
Google also fixed a problem with ending Google Meet calls by voice; the article says firmware versions were not specified.
