So shall we begin?

Google Home For iPhone

I know you feel sceptical but it is true that Google Home works on iPhones. What it entails is you downloading the Google Home app to your phone to get things started. This is, of course, me thinking you already bought Google Home for your personal use.

You will have to set up Google Home inside your home before we even begin to talk about the app. If you just bought and received it, get it out of its box and have it plugged into an effective power source. Doing this will pair the Google Home with your iPhone seamlessly.

Downloading The Google Home App

Immediately you plug and power on your Google Home, we can now focus on getting the Google Home app from the iPhone App Store.

You will have to:

1. Power on your iPhone and click the App Store app.
2. Search for “Google Home.”
3. When you find it, click the Get button and make use of a passcode for the account or have your identity recognized by the Touch/Face ID. Your decision will depend on the option you’ve set up and had available.
4. When your ID is confirmed, the app will start to download and install to your iPhone.
5. When installation for the app is done, an Open button will be visible on its right side.
6. Click the Open button to launch the Google Home app.

Now we can set up Google Home and have it connected to your iPhone.

Connect Google Home To Your iPhone

After plugging Google Home and installing the app on your iPhone, we can now pair them together. You have to power on both devices for this. And make sure a WiFi connection is available.

To achieve pairing:

1. Open the Google Home app on your iPhone and click Get Started that will be seen at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
2. Choose the Gmail account you intend to attach to your Google Home and click OK. This will ensure your iPhone can search for Google Home devices that are closeby. As soon as a device is found, your iPhone will notify you with “Google Home found.” After that, it connects itself to the device.
3. Click Next at the bottom-right of the screen in order to start Google Home setup.

If you do not like the permissions you will be granting, clicking Yes is not by force. But to enjoy your Google Home experience, you will have to do things their way.
7. Here is the part you’d love. Ensuring Google Assistant recognizes your voice for commands. On your phone screen, you will see a few prompt you have to read aloud. Read every one in a clear manner and make it loud so your Google Assistant will understand the process.
