What’s new in Google Home 3.37 & 3.38: More camera improvements

This round, Google Home has released two release notes — version 3.37 and 3.38 — simultaneously with a focus on camera updates. This follows the last drop in late July.

Google Home 3.38 is from August 4, 2025 and is widely rolled out. Google Home continues work on camera improvements by reducing latency and improving online/offline status.

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

• Improved camera live playback: We’ve made under-the-hood corrections to ensure the app accurately reports whether your camera is online or offline, improving live streaming performance.
• Enhanced Camera Performance: Experience reduced latency to the first frame and improved reliability for cameras through better signaling.

Version 3.37 is dated July 23, 2025. Besides general app bug fixes, the big addition is how Camera tiles will show a previous live view as a preview to “quickly identify your camera without waiting” for the live feed.

Features

• Camera tile previews: Camera tiles now display a preview image from a previous live view, allowing you to quickly identify your camera without waiting for the live view to load.

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

• iOS app bar and settings access: Fixed an issue preventing access to the top app bar and settings screen in the iOS app for some Google Accounts.
• Text overlap: Resolved text overlapping on images within the Nest Renew page under Subscriptions and on the Public Preview page in the Settings tab on iOS.
• Improved app load and stability: Addressed an issue where the Google Home app crashes on startup, improving the app’s reliability.
