The new Google Home’s Favorites widget is designed for users’ interaction with their smart home devices, automation, and actions in a square-shaped grid, which can take up the entire home screen or shrink to a single line. The widget constitutes a Dynamic color theme that seamlessly adapts to your device’s home screen for a more personalized experience. Meanwhile, the Favorites widget grid shows your smart home devices, including kitchen lights, thermometer temperatures, and more.

Conversely, Google is adding the new Favorites Tile and compilation for Google Home on Wear OS. This new tile on Wear OS allows users to view up to five devices and open the entire app. However, due to the limited space, Google Home provides icons but no text labels. Alongside, the Google Home compilation on Wear OS is a simple app icon for Google Home.

Moreover, the Favorites widget for Google Home on Android is rolling out with the latest version 3.18 of the Google Home app, and a Tile and compilation for Google Home on Wear OS has also started rolling out with the Wear OS app updates.
