Yes, I remember others talking about this problem. My best guess is this is not a problem that is easily fixable by Google as it has more to do with the dual-sim phone. However I'm going to try and escalate this and let's see if you can get a more clear answer.

Hello there,
We understand that you're experiencing issues with cameras not loading on the Google Home app when using a dual SIM iPhone. This can be frustrating, especially if you rely on the app to access your home security cameras remotely.
The issue you're encountering is likely due to the Google Home app not being assigned to the SIM card with active data. Since dual SIM iPhones allow you to choose which SIM card is used for data for each app, it's crucial to ensure the Google Home app is set to use the SIM with available data.
Here's how to troubleshoot the issue:
Check Data Availability: Verify that you have an active data plan for the SIM card you want to use with the Google Home app. You can check your data balance and plan details through your carrier's app or website.
Assign Data Usage to the Correct SIM:
a. iPhone Settings: Open the "Settings" app on your iPhone.
b. Cellular: Navigate to "Cellular" and select the SIM card you want to use for the Google Home app.
c. App Data Usage: Scroll down and find the "Google Home" app.
d. Data Usage: Ensure that "Cellular Data" is enabled for the Google Home app.
Restart Phone and App: After making the changes, restart your iPhone and relaunch the Google Home app. This can help refresh the app's connection to the network and ensure it's using the correct SIM card for data.
Check Internet Connection: Confirm that you have a stable internet connection, either through Wi-Fi or the selected SIM card. Try opening other apps that require internet access to verify your connection.
Reinstall Google Home App: If the issue persists, try reinstalling the Google Home app from the App Store. This can sometimes resolve app-related glitches.
Remember, having a dual SIM iPhone provides flexibility in managing data usage, but it's essential to ensure each app is assigned to the appropriate SIM card for seamless operation.
Best Regards,
Brandon.

as said this is not correct!!! there is plenty of data 5G on both sim cards. both enabled!!!! My Arlo app works, Google Home trough an browser on the device etc.!!! When one disable one of the sim cards then it works also in google home app. This is 110% a google home app issue and it is a scandal it is not fixed! Will proberly just go with Arlo. BTW the settings you write about above?, well on iphone yout CAN'T select which sim card goes with which app, you can only select if data, voice etc is enabled on the card not like one sim is for one app etc - so again, why do you post about something you clearly no nothing about. Please stop comment on this thread as you no nothing about iphone settings, clearly

again already been in dialouge twice with Google Customer Support Live. They are aware of the issue but says: "we dont know if and when it will be solved"... So they say; you can post it somewhere and see if someone knows something... So basically they are saying; well lets see...

HI Renesp, well, sorry that escalating didn't bring a solution. I know that Google never gives out any information on if and when any bug will be fixed or even if they are working on it. Very frustrating.
