Reset Google Home: Instructions for all models
You can reset Google Home if the device shows an error or the settings are completely mixed up. We show you exactly how the reset works for the Google Home and the Google Home Mini.
Reset Google Home: How to reset all models
Resetting the Google Home is a step with far-reaching consequences: You must then reconnect all connected devices to Google Home, for example the lamps, the washing machine or the TV. You also have to integrate all services back into Google Home - from music streaming offers such as Spotify to VoD providers such as Amazon Video. How to reset Google Home and Google Home Mini:
- Google Home: Since the Google Home has no reset button to reset, this works via the microphone button on the back of the device. Press and hold the microphone button for about 15 seconds. Then Google Home will tell you that the device is now being reset. This only takes a few seconds.
- Google Home Mini: There is a small circle on the back of the Google Mini. This is stamped directly under the socket for the charging cable (see picture) and into the material. Keep this button pressed until the Google Home Mini confirms the reset.
- After the reset, you'll need to set up Google Home again and link all devices and services.
- By the way: Both models can neither be reset by voice command nor via the app. Only the variants listed here are possible.
One voice command is enough: Now read on the next page how you can also control your TV with Google Home.
