TL;DR

• Google Home update version 4.2 fixes two Android crash issues and improves overall stability.
• Camera history scrolling is smoother on iOS, and all users get a cleaner camera viewer.
• Nest x Yale Lock gains new features like lock history, notifications, and Android passcode editing.

Google Home updates are being released thick and fast, perhaps because the company is aware that eyes are on it following its major overhaul. Google is pushing out version 4.2 of the Google Home app, arriving just days after the last update. The rollout brings various improvements for camera and Nest x Yale Lock owners, while also aiming to prevent the Android app from crashing — or at least make it crash less often.

According to the Google support page, version 4.2 addresses two separate issues that were causing the app to crash on Android. That will come as a welcome relief to users, given how central the Home app is to managing the rest of Google’s smart home hardware.
