Playing old news

xyaking
Community Member

I have several Home products (mesh hubs and minis) and they're all having this problem. When I ask for the news, they all give me YESTERDAY'S news. Based on someone's suggestion here for a different problem, I tried asking for a specific news instead (e.g., news from Reuters or OPB) and have the same problem. This is not using a routine, but simply saying what's the news or play the news from Reuters.

I have the same issue, whether I say "OK Google Good morning" or "Play NPR News", I am getting yesterday's news.

Having the same problem for two days.

I'm sure it's server-side problem. I just hope they fix it real soon.

Yes-same here with old news. Must be the Google server side. I have deleted and reinstalled. Same issues.  It started 3 days ago when the app updated. I hope they fix it soon as I have 3 in different locations of house and I want CURRENT NEWS! Otherwise, I would watch TV.

Hi folks,

 

This is not the experience we want you to have; let us help you. A few questions: aside from the Google Home Mini, which Nest speakers are we working with? Were there any recent changes made? What is the exact command you’re giving? May we know what country are you located in?

 

It would help a lot if you could do a sequential reboot first:

 

  1. Unplug the power cord from your router, followed by your Nest speakers.
  2. Plug them back in after 3 minutes.
  3. Restarting your phone might also help.

 

If you still don't get the news you expect:

 

  1. Review your news preferences customization.
  2. Be more specific with your request.

 

Keep us posted.

 

Best,

Dan

Mine, too, is good right now.

BTW, the symptom continued for several days.

In the end, it fixed itself after a few days - clearly something on Google's end.
