Items not added to the shopping list and Google responds with a recipe

Enrico — Wed, 09 Mar 2022 08:02:06 GMT

Since 2 weeks I can't add items to my shopping list via my Nest Audio. When I say 'add <item> to my shopping list' Google responds with a recipe of that <item> (90% of my requests). I use my Nest Audio with the Dutch language ('voeg <item> toe aan mijn boodschappenlijst'). I have used the Google Home mini before and never had this issue.

There seems to be a bug at the Google processing side.

Came here for the same problem, also using Dutch language. I have it on more than 1 device.

I really hope someone knows how to solve this because we really use the shopping list a lot here!

Same here, also in the Dutch language. Almost always recipes show up when trying to add items to shopping list. Started about 2 weeks ago, worked fine before. Please fix it Google ...

Is someone from Google support actually reading these issues and taking action to solve this 'bug'?

Same problem here. I was a great fan of the Google assistent, but not anymore. The assistant is regressing instead of progressing. Basic functions suddenly stop working and almost no new functions are introduced. Only the lack of Dutch is keeping me from switching to Alexa.

Same problem here! It works when i combine English with Dutch (hey google put kaas on my shopping list). Then google responds in Dutch (ik heb kaas op je boodschappenlijst gezet).

Same issue seems to have started here a few days ago. Something seems to be broken.

Though it works on my Pixel 5 without issues, only Hub V2 seems to be giving the issues here.

Dutch language as well

Same here same problem in dutch, only recipe, and every now and then it seems to work, but a second later its the same problem again.

My work around for the moment is to say ( in duct ) ok google put on my shopping list, it will reply with the questions, what do you want to put on the list, then i reply with whatever i want to add, and it works like that, but its not working like it just to

Working with iphones, android samsung tablet, and 4 google mini`s and a google nest hub max, and they all have the same problem in dutch

In the mean time I submitted this issue to Google Nest support, and they asked me to make a video of me asking my Nest Hub to add something to the shopping list (and see the recipes in response). So far I submitted 2 videos (apparently they had trouble opening the first) and have yet to hear back.

I tried to point them towards this forum so they could see that many people have this problem, but that really didn't land with this guy... he kept insisting he'd only look at my device. I'm not hopeful, but I hope you all do the same thing (create a support ticket) and this ends up with the right people.

Same issue here for the german and english language. Already recondigured the setup and addes several new lists with different names. Nothing worked, quite frustrating, since this is one of the most used features of mine.

Frustrating indeed, this is a perfectly handy function and they've ruined it! Shopping lists in Dutch always respond with recipes. I really hope this is fixed soon.

There is a workaround. Say "ok google, add to shoppinglist". Google will ask you what you want to add. Whatever you reply will be added. Worked for me. But i hope google will fix it soon, behalve the workaround takes longer.
