Google Home’s latest bug: Setting an alarm for this time is nearly impossible

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-19 08:50:45

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A recent Google Home bug prevents smart speakers and displays from setting alarms for 12:30am. Google Assistant-equipped Home devices like the Nest Hub and the Nest Audio recognize standard alarm command phrasing, like “Okay Google, set an alarm for twelve thirty am,” but they set the alarm for 12:30 p.m. instead. Saying “zero zero thirty” aloud appears to be the only working time input for setting an alarm for 12.30am. Google Home is no stranger to more

Calvin Wankhede / Android Authority When I’m planning a trip to a new destination, I try to get a feel for the place before I leave — especially if I’m going abroad. Not that I’m trying to mitigate culture shock, but it’s helpful to know what the areas I’m visiting actually look like. I prefer knowing how walkable the area around my hotel is and what kind of restaurants are nearby ahead of time. Google Maps is of course my first choice for this task, and I’ve spent hours mindlessly tapping away

Jason Cipriani/ZDNET At least for one device, the battery problems that have plagued some Pixel phones may be ending – but the fix is coming at a price.

Google is shutting down Android Instant Apps over ‘low’ usage

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Google has confirmed that it plans to shut down Android’s Instant Apps later this year, attributing the decision to “low” usage of the functionality. Instant Apps were introduced in 2017, and allow developers to create mini versions of Android apps that load, well, instantly. Users can try apps and demo games from the click of a link, without having to fully install them. Th

Google surprisingly brings back Snapseed with major 3.0 update on iPhone

Google today surprisingly released a major 3.0 update for Snapseed that entirely redesigns the photo editing app on iPhone and iPad. Given the lack of major updates in several years, it seemed that Google abandoned Snapseed. Since the app worked locally and has no server-side component, it seemed like the company was happy to let the beloved editor linger. The last notable update to Snapseed for iOS was in 2021, with very minor updates in 2023 and 2024. Google today released version 3.0.0 of S
