Android Police spotted signs in the latest version of the Google Home app that suggest the company is working on multi-user support. The code also contains references to a device being able to “recognize your voice” and needing to be trained, which suggests that user switching could happen by Google’s device identifying who’s speaking.
“We continue developing new experiences for Google Home, but we don’t have specific updates to share at this time,” a spokesperson from Google said. It’s hard to imagine that Google — and any other company with a smart speaker — isn’t working on this, as it’s one of these devices’ biggest limitations.
Coincidentally enough, it just came out earlier this week that Amazon is working on getting Alexa to distinguish between voices, too. Time said the feature is pretty much complete, but that Amazon is working through some final implementation issues, including privacy concerns.
Google’s multi-user support could be extremely early in development and it certainly seems like something is in the works, which is good news for anyone with a Google Home and several people in their house.
