Google Home Keep Disconnecting Issues

By rohan singhPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

Google Home / Nest speakers are a common choice in the smart speaker market. The wizard's capabilities make them better than the competition, but it seems that alternative uses are often mediocre. Many users claim that the Amazon Dot is doing a better job as a smart home hub, and that's a better Bluetooth / Wi-Fi speaker. Google Home connectivity issues annoy users on all platforms, including iOS. Google Home Keep Disconnecting Namely, some users report that their iPhone keeps disconnecting from the Google Home speaker while on Bluetooth or while streaming music.

If you are among the affected group, be sure to check the steps listed below.

Why does Google Home keep disconnecting 1-888-588-8639 from iPhone?

1. Check permissions and allow application update in the background

First of all, make sure Google Home has all the permissions if you are using some Bluetooth alternatives like Spotify Connect or Google Cast. Most likely, the system kills the background process when you lock the screen. And the iPhone disconnects from Google Home, causing a playback interruption.

This is what you need to check on your iPhone:

Open configuration.

Touch Google Home.

Make sure Google Home has all permissions enabled and background app update is also enabled.

2. Update your iPhone

The next thing you need to do is make sure your device is running the latest (or at least recent) firmware version. Google Home / Nest speakers update on their own, so there's one less thing to worry about.

You can check for updates on your iPhone by following these steps:

Open configuration.

Touch General.

Select Software update.

Download and install updates.

3. Delete the Bluetooth pairing and add it again.

This fixed the problem for some users. If it is, instead of sharing Wi-Fi, rely on Bluetooth, make sure to remove your iPhone from paired devices and add it again. Deleting other active device pairings (paired speakers, PCs, etc.) can also help, reducing the chances of potential conflicts.

Here's how to remove your iPhone from the list of paired devices using the Google Home app:

Open the Google Home app on your iPhone.

Touch Google Home and then touch the gear icon to access Settings.

Select Paired Bluetooth Devices. The phone disconnects from the Google Home speaker.

Touch the X sign to remove the pairing.

Now, go back and open the System Settings.

Touch Bluetooth.

Enable Bluetooth and tap "i" on the right, next to the speaker.

Remove the Google Home speaker from the list of paired devices by tapping Forget this device. Disconnecting the speaker phone from Google Home

Now, go back to Google Home> Speaker> Settings (gear)> Paired Bluetooth devices.

Touch Enable pairing mode.

Once again, go back to System Settings> Bluetooth and pair your iPhone with the Google Home / Nest speaker.

4. Reset Google Home to factory settings and configure it again.

Finally, if nothing helps, you can try restoring your Google Home / Nest speaker to factory settings. It won't take long to set it up again, considering it's based on cloud-based setups. Basically, aside from the voice, there are just a few small details that may require some tweaking.

Here's how to reset your Google Home / Nest to factory settings:

At the bottom of your smart speaker, you will find a small reset button. Press and hold until you hear a message informing you that your device is about to be restored to factory settings (approximately 15-20 seconds).

Once the Google Home / Nest speaker restarts, open the Google Home app and tap the + icon to add a new device.

Tap Set up device.

Tap New device.

Follow further instructions.

If your iPhone keeps disconnecting from the Google Home speaker, be sure to submit a ticket to Google. Especially since it is an underlying theme that is not new.
