Google Home bug moves room-assigned devices to 'Linked to you'
Users say devices assigned to rooms now appear under 'Linked to you' in the Google Home app, while settings still show the correct rooms.
Some Google Home users have reported over the past week that devices assigned to rooms are suddenly appearing under the 'Linked to you' section of the app. The devices often still show their correct room assignments in settings, which points to a syncing or display bug rather than lost configurations.
No confirmed fix exists yet, and Google has not publicly acknowledged the issue. Affected users have no official workaround to rely on while the behaviour continues.
The reports come as Apple spends the day showing off new smart home hardware.
