Just a day ahead of the release of Google’s Pixel 2 smartphones, Google cleans up its Google Home app, giving the app a sleeker look. Google simplifies the tabs and goes with just a Discover and Browse sections. Discover focuses more on your general needs and shows you tips about the different Google Home and Google Assistant functions and features, recommended searches and Chromecast apps, among many others.

The Browse tab, on the other hand, houses all your entertainment-related needs. At the top of the page you’ll see popular TV shows and movies you can browse through. Going through these there will be specific sections for different media streaming apps like YouTube, Google Play Movies, Netflix, and Spotify, among others. If you select on the TV shows, Music, and Movies buttons, that’ll take you to those specific categories. On top of that. There are new splash screens, too, for these categories with the titles showing up bigger at the top of the page and the volume controls getting a new look. If you’re wondering if you got these changes, the version of the app you should have is 1.25.81.13.
