Google posted speaker firmware version 3.79.550760 to its Preview Program on October 14, 2026, according to 9to5google.com. The build bundles five sets of improvements covering audio and media streaming, volume, setup and Wi-Fi connectivity, the Google Assistant entry experience, smart home controls, and overall performance and stability.
The release is being tested on four speaker models: the Google Home (2016), the Home Mini (2017), the Nest Mini (2019) and the Nest Audio (2020).
Users who want the build early can sign up for the Preview Program from the Google Home app, by opening the device page and going to the settings gear, then Device information, then Preview program. Preview updates install automatically at night.
According to the same report, the 3.79 update should reach the production channel for all users in a few weeks.
Older devices and models left out
Google has long operated a Preview Program for speaker firmware, and the Google Home Max has been running older firmware for some time. The Home Speaker was not included in this wave; given that it launched recently, it might already carry these improvements.
