Google, please stop adding devices to favorites

Tsohlacol — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 00:59:53 GMT

Google home app keeps adding devices to favorites. I keep removing those devices, because i do not want them to show in favourites. And Google keeps adding them.

This is very frustrating behavior.

How do i stop Google from auto adding these devices? Failing that, how do i automatically remove them, instead of having to manually do so every time i use the app?

Hi Tsohlacol,

Thanks for posting. I understand that your Google Home app keeps adding devices to favorites even if you keep removing those devices. I know how frustrating this may be. But don't worry; help is here. In order to proceed, let's try the following steps:

Clear the app's cache: Clearing the cache can free up space and resolve issues without deleting your saved information.
Uninstall and reinstall the app: This can resolve issues with corrupted files.
Restart your device: This can clear temporary files and memory issues that might be causing the app to malfunction.

If the issue persists after following these steps, we kindly suggest submitting feedback directly through the Google Home app for further investigation.

Please keep me posted.

Best regards,

Jenny

Hi Jenny.

Thanks, but none of those suggestions worked.

The only thing that has helps is to add a single device as a favorite.

But! None of your suggestions make any sense. Programmatically agreeing favorites can't possibly be "just a big". It confuses with Google's Gemini AI rollout, and makes me believe that Google is enabling it's AI on my data even though I've disabled gemini everywhere
