Google Home Gets Personal
Enable personalized responses and access to calendars, appointments, and more with Voice Match and personal results
Google Home speakers are getting a major upgrade with the Gemini-driven refresh announced in August 2025. One of the key features of this update is the improvement to Voice Match and personal results, allowing users to get personalized responses and access to their personal calendars, appointments, and other details.
To set up personal results, users need to open the Google Home app and set up Voice Match. This can be done by selecting the user's profile photo, going to Home settings, and then selecting Gemini for home assistant and Voice Match. Once Voice Match is set up, users can select which devices they want personal results to work with.
With personal results enabled, Google Home can tap into users' personal calendars, appointments, Google Keep, Notes, Lists, Photos, and other details. Users can also share access to their personal results with others, allowing multiple users to get personalized responses.
However, it's essential to note that if Voice Match is turned off with personal results turned on, anyone speaking to the smart assistant will hear the user's personal results. To avoid this, users can set up their own profiles and Voice Match, ensuring that only authorized users can access personal results.
## Why it matters The ability to turn on personal results on Google Home is a significant improvement to the smart speaker's functionality. With Voice Match and personal results, users can get personalized responses and access to their personal information, making the smart speaker more useful and convenient. This feature is particularly useful for families or households with multiple users, as each user can set up their own profile and get personalized responses.
## What happens next To get started with personal results, users can open the Google Home app and follow the steps to set up Voice Match and enable personal results. With the Gemini-driven refresh, Google Home speakers are becoming more conversational and contextual, understanding natural phrasing and providing more accurate responses. As more users set up personal results, they can expect a more personalized and seamless experience with their Google Home speakers.
