But recently, many users have reported connectivity issues where the Bluetooth keeps disconnecting from the Google Home speaker or Nest. Google has finally acknowledged this problem after many users have reported it over time.

To resolve the issue, users should ensure that their Bluetooth devices are properly paired and that the Google Home speaker or Nest is in the correct pairing mode.
They should also check their system settings and factory reset if necessary. Additionally, users should ensure that all necessary permissions are enabled and install any available software updates to resolve any software glitches that may be causing the issue.
Overall, many users have reported Google Home connectivity issues with their Bluetooth devices, and Google has finally acknowledged the issue.
By following the steps above, users can resolve the problem and continue to enjoy the convenience of playing music from their Bluetooth devices on their Google Home speaker or Nest smart display.
Are you having trouble connecting your Google Home Mini or Nest to a Bluetooth device?
Don’t worry, as most connectivity issues can be traced back to either hardware compatibility or software glitches. If the device you’re trying to connect to is not compatible with Google Home’s Bluetooth protocols, it won’t be able to connect.
Software glitches can occur when updates or settings are changed without following proper instructions from the manufacturer. To avoid these issues, ensure that the device is in pairing mode and selected as a paired device, double-check that all necessary permissions have been granted, and keep an eye out for software updates when setting up a new device.
It’s no secret that many people have experienced the frustrating problem of their Bluetooth devices randomly disconnecting from their Google Home or Nest speakers. This can make the device unusable and it can be especially frustrating if you don’t know what the cause of the problem is.
We’ve found that the only solution so far is to reconnect the Bluetooth on your phone or other device and then connect it again with Google Home. This is not only time-consuming but can be very disappointing for those in the affected group. Google Home has been experiencing this issue since 2018, but the real solution is not yet known.
Thankfully, the company has acknowledged the problem and is working on getting it fixed.
In the meantime, users can try enabling Bluetooth on their devices and connecting to the paired speakers again. Additionally, users can check for updates and install them, as well as, follow any further instructions provided by the manufacturer. It is worth noting that some users report issues with Bluetooth pairing as well.
Overall, the problem of Bluetooth disconnecting from Google Home or Nest speakers is a known issue and can be frustrating for users. However, with the company acknowledging the problem and working on a solution, it is reassuring that a fix is on the way.
In the meantime, keep reading this article to find out how to alleviate the issue.
Some users mentioned that their iPhone disconnects from Google Home speakers within 60 seconds while searching for a song to play.
Not only that, it disconnects midway, too, while the music is playing!!
Many users have reported that their iPhone keeps disconnecting from Google Home speakers within 60 seconds of searching for a song to play, and even mid-way through streaming music. This is a frustrating problem that has been ongoing for over a year now, with many users seeking a solution.
Google Nest has finally acknowledged the issue on the Official Google Nest support thread, with a Nest support representative stating that their engineering team is aware of the problem and working on a solution.
“We are aware of the problem and our engineering team is working on a solution.” “Stay tuned for updates!” – Nest Support.
However, this response doesn’t provide much comfort or a clear timeline for when users can expect a fix.
In the meantime, users can try enabling permissions for paired devices, checking their Bluetooth settings, and ensuring that Bluetooth is enabled on their device.
They can also try enabling pairing mode on their Google Home speaker, and selecting paired Bluetooth devices. Additionally, some users have found success using Spotify Connect instead of Google Cast.
It’s important to note that some users have reported that resetting their devices to factory settings and double-checking that all necessary permissions are enabled, has helped to alleviate the issue.
However, these are temporary solutions and Google Home should do a better job at addressing this problem and providing a more concrete solution.
Try this workaround till Google finds a solution.
To factory reset your Google Home :
With the factory reset, all pairing with your other devices will be lost.
It’s important to note that performing a factory reset will erase all pairing with your other devices and settings, so you’ll need to set them up again. This can be a hassle, especially for those who may have missed small details in setting up their devices.
Another option for Apple users is setting up your phone as an AirPlay speaker using the Apple Music app instead of relying on the Bluetooth connection from Google Home Speaker. However, this will defeat the purpose of having a Google Home speaker.
Before trying to reset the device, make sure to check the permissions, start playback, and see if the system kills the connection.
Also, double-check that all necessary permissions are enabled and access settings, such as tap enable pairing mode, as this can be a simple solution as well
Still, we will have to do it until the “Bluetooth keeps disconnecting from Google Home” issue is fixed.
Key Takeaway: Nest Official Support has acknowledged this problem, but there is still no release date for when they will have it available. All users are advised to stay tuned by following @Nest Support

I find that unplugging my Google hub and then plugging it back in allows the Bluetooth connection to be seen once again so I can cast and connect from my android. It’s frustrating though cause I have to unplugging it a few times a week now. Whereas before it would just be once in a great while.
I have the same experience, I have to unplug it basically once a day to reconnect to bluetooth devices. I am using Philips Hue Smart Plug and Philips Hue LED light, quite frustrating to do this at least once a day to turn on the TV or light :///.
I completely agree with you Lukas 🙂
I had the same problem. Then I examined some of the settings from Home app from Android. The default setting of speaker delay was 0ms. I changed it to 2ms and the problem has not appeared yet. Perhaps some delay introduces buffering, preventing overflow.
It was wonderful to hear back about a new solution Kuni that worked for you!!!
I had this problem and I just now had my nest connected for 12 hours prior to writing this:
*Open the google home nest app on your phone or whatever device your connected from.
*Make sure its completely loaded and it has the volume control panel showing along with speaker name.
*You dont have to keep this app up but it has to be running in the background. In layman’s terms, you can use other apps while playing bluetooth but just make sure your google nest app isn’t exited out of.
I’d known about this trick for awhile but was just searching up why it does that. I was curious because my friend who has an iPhone 11 never has issues with it, he doesn’t even have the app downloaded. While I have a Samsung Note 8 and it seems to do this every other song. I hope this helps!
Thank you Russell for sharing your experience!
