TL;DR
- Some Google Home users say devices assigned to rooms are suddenly appearing under “Linked to you” instead.
- The devices often still show their correct room assignments in settings, suggesting a syncing or display bug rather than lost configurations.
- No confirmed fix exists yet, and Google hasn’t publicly acknowledged the issue.
Apple is spending today showing off its shiny new smart home hardware, which is bound to leave Google Home users wondering when Google will make its next big move. For some, though, new gadgets are probably the last thing on their minds — they just want the devices already in their Google Home app to stay where they put them.
Over the past week, some Google Home users have reported that devices previously assigned to rooms are suddenly being dumped into the app’s “Linked to you” section. The strange part is that Google Home still appears to remember where those devices belong.
