Google home can't add automations as of 7/23/25

I just received a replacement pixel 7.  I'm using the latest Google home app.  If I try to add an automation, I try to change the name from untitled to my custom name.  In the app, the x and checkmark have been placed on the very top line of my screen and I cannot either cancel using the x or accept using the checkmark.

On my phone the check is directly over the battery percentage and the x is over the clock.  No matter how many times I touch them, the touch is not registered.

 

This just.began occuring.  I have successfully created many automations in the past.

The landscape mode works on my pixel 7.  This is clearly a bug in the Google home app and demonstrates the Google home app must not have been tested on a pixel.  Ironic that according to others, it works on iPhones ....

Hi all,

 

Thanks for reaching out to the community. I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties adding an automation in the Google Home app using your Pixel 7 phone, as the checkmark button has been placed at the top of the screen, making it unclickable. I appreciate the detailed information shared. No worries, I'd be more than glad to assist you.

We're aware of an issue with creating home automations using Pixel Phones in the Google Home app; our team is already working on it. We’ll share an update as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

 

Cheers,
Jonathan
