Recently, a number of Google Pixel users who upgraded to the new Pixel 10 series have been experiencing issues with not receiving notifications from the Google Home app on their devices. The problem was initially linked to the Android 16 QPR1 update. Google has now officially recognized the Google Home notifications problem on the Pixel 10 devices and has assured users that a solution is in the works.
Google has acknowledged that some Pixel 10 phone users have been facing difficulties with receiving notifications from the Google Home app on their devices. This issue seems to be affecting the smart home platform and Google’s latest Pixel phones. Users have taken to online forums and Reddit to express their frustrations, with one Reddit user mentioning the lack of Google Home notifications on their new Pixel 10 Pro XL.
While some users have reported receiving notifications from the app on their smartwatches, the notifications are not coming through on their phones. This widespread issue has been acknowledged by Google in a Reddit comment, stating that they are actively working on resolving the bug.
As Google works on a fix for the Google Home app notifications bug on the Pixel 10 series, there are some temporary solutions that users can try. One Reddit user suggested force stopping the Google Home app, clearing its data, and logging back in, which temporarily resolved the issue on their Pixel 10 Pro XL. Another user recommended switching the Home app to use the new device for presence sensing, which also proved to be effective for some users.
Changing the app’s battery usage from “Optimized” to “Unrestricted” has helped some users receive notifications. While Google has not provided a timeline for when the fix will be rolled out, users are encouraged to try these workarounds in the meantime. Stay tuned for any official updates on the matter.
