Users will only be able to see the current state of their networks from then on, and any improvements, such as installing new routers or access points, will have to be done via the Google Home app.

The transition to the Google Home app will happen in two stages: first, on May 25, Google will disable most of the features of the Google Wifi app, according to The Verge.


In June, Google will delete the Wifi app from the Play Store and iOS App Store, requiring all users to use the Google Home app exclusively, according to the article.
