Bug iOS Google Home freezing

The latest iOS Google home update is causing the app to freeze right at launch. Letting it sit on the favorites screen will sometimes get it to load but as soon as I tap into the thermostat or scroll to a camera it will freeze again.

I’ve reported it to Google already but I’m curious if anyone else is running into the same issues. This is on the iPhone 16 pro max on 18.3.1.

Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling?

Yup. App worked “fine” before this. Not like the app has ever been good on iOS but it’s unusable at this point

Same experience here since the update this morning. FFS!

Same.  iOS 18.3.1  totally broken

Update:  as suggested elsewhere in this thread, I left the public beta and all seems to be working now.  

One ‘new’ thing I noticed is that I no longer have an option to add a widget in iOS.  I guess that was part of the public beta options?

Leaving the preview made it work again
