Spesso i changelog ufficiali delle tante applicazioni Android non forniscono dettagli sulle novità introdotte con ciascun aggiornamento ma il team di sviluppatori di Google Home App ha deciso di invertire questo trend.

All’inizio di quest’anno il colosso di Mountain View ha pubblicato sul sito di supporto un articolo dedicato alle Note di rilascio di Google Home App ma le voci erano piuttosto generiche, limitandosi a parlare di correzioni di bug e miglioramenti.

Se la versione italiana è ancora ferma a tali changelog generici, quella inglese invece è stata aggiornata per fornire molti più dettagli.
