Nest Hub removes 3rd-party voice apps and games.

Google has started ending support for third-party Assistant voice apps, including games, on the Nest Hub. The company had announced the move last year, citing a lack of usage for the initial method that let third-parties build for Assistant. The move will impact grocery apps and third-party Notes & Lists integration. However, Google Keep will still be available to interact with shopping lists by voice. The company is now focusing on having Android apps add voice capabilities.

Google Assistant to end support for third-party notes and lists integration.

Google is shutting down third-party integration for Notes & Lists on Google Assistant, which allowed users to create or edit a list/note on speakers and Smart Displays using providers like AnyList, Any.do, and Bring Shopping Lists. The shutdown is part of the deprecation of third-party Assistant voice apps and Nest Hub games, which is set to occur on June 20. The integration is built on the same Conversational Actions platform that's also being phased out, as Google shifts its focus to having Android developers add voice command capabilities to their existing apps. Google Keep will not be impacted by this change.
