All the great things you’ve come to expect from Google Home – play music, ask questions and control smart devices with just your voice, but now the Google Home Hub screen offers even more possibilities. This works especially well in the kitchen – ask for step by step instructions through recipes, run multiple timers or do measurement conversions. If you come across something you don’t understand, ask Google and the Home Hub will show you a YouTube video instantly. Built in Google Photos allows you to take a photo, upload to the shared album in the app and your mum, nan, granddad or family can see your photo pop up on their Hub straight away.
