iOS users are encountering issues with Google Home’s automation widget. When attempting to trigger pre-configured smart home automations via the widget, the app opens to the home screen, but the automations fail to execute. Multiple users have reported the problem on Reddit.
The official Google Nest account in the community confirmed that the Google Home team is aware of the issue and actively working to resolve it.
