TL;DR
- Merely opening the Google Home app on iOS is automatically turning on connected smart lights for many users.
- The issue appears to affect smart lights from multiple brands (Govee, Philips Hue, Tapo, Kasa) and even hub bridges, but is confined to the iOS app so far.
- Manual toggles fail as lights turn back on seconds later, forcing users to unplug devices or unlink third-party accounts.
A strange new bug in the Google Home app for iOS is turning smart lights on across users’ homes whenever the application is opened. While Google recently rolled out a major Google Home update packed with third-party camera support and performance tweaks, this new glitch appears to be causing severe headaches for iPhone and iPad users trying to manage their smart setups.
According to Reddit user MST-1229 and others, simply launching the Google Home app on iOS causes connected smart lighting devices, including dimmers, bulbs, and LED strips, to turn on automatically. Attempting to switch the lights off manually is seemingly futile as the app forces them back on just seconds later.
