    Google Home is still re-adding audio features it lost due to the Sonos lawsuit

    After a few years of legal battles, you can once again control grouped speakers using the Google Home app and Google Assistant. The feature was slipped into Android 15 beta 2 last week, and now it’s going out to everyone, so users shouldn’t have to adjust the volume one speaker at a time anymore from their Android phones.

    From the Google Home app, you should be able to adjust the volume from the Now Playing screen in the app when you’re playing to multiple speakers just by adjusting the volume as normal — the same goes for Google Assistant-compatible smart speakers. The company says there will be other ways to access its “Group Volume Control” feature later, including from an Android smartphone lock screen or smart displays like the Google Nest Hub.

    Google typically rolls out features over time, though the company doesn’t mention anything about that in the Nest Community post about the change, so it may have just flipped a server-side switch to turn this on for everyone. And although it specifically mentions the Android version of the Google Home app, adjusting volume for a speaker group in the iOS app works, too — albeit without the fancy Now Playing UI or the ability to control that volume using your phone’s volume buttons (unless you’re specifically doing it from, for instance, the YouTube Music app with the output selector open).

    I should note we couldn’t get Google Assistant on a smartphone to change the volume for a speaker group. Google didn’t immediately respond to a request for more information.
