• Google now allows all Nest cams from 2015 and later to be added to the Google Home app, offering a more unified management experience.
• The Google Home app provides new features like livestream views, camera automation, and event access on devices like the Pixel Watch and Google TV.
• While convenient, several users report the Nest app offers better functionality, raising concerns about switching to the Google Home app.

Google has made it so that all Nest cams launched as early as 2015 can now be added to the Google Home app. The company announced the development in a community blog post, saying it’s expanding support for the Nest Cam IQ Indoor, Nest Cam IQ Outdoor, and Nest Hub Max in Public Preview in the Google Home app. So, instead of constantly switching between the Google Home app and the Nest app, users can now manage all their Nest cameras in one app, i.e., the Google Home app.
