Google has renamed the Cast app as Google Home. Along with renaming the app, Google has also updated it with new design, feature and also changed logo.
First up, Google Home now gets a Watch tab which lets you discover trending and popular video content on your Chromecast-enabled apps like HBO Now, Netfilx, Hulu, YouTube, and Google Play Movies. You can explore a library of 1000+ apps that work with Chromecast, as well as the latest offers, features, and tips.
The app will further enable users to control and manage all Chromecast and Google Home devices. You can simply tap the devices icon in the top right of the home screen to easily set up a new device, control playback or adjust backdrop settings on your TV, and more.
Google had announced Google Home voice activated assitant in May this year at I/O and it is available for pre-order for $129.
The revamped Google Home will be available in Play Store and App Store this week.
