Google Cast App Renamed Google Home

A new update to the Google's Cast app rebrands it as Google Home. The update makes the app compatible with the Google Home hardware and the 4K-capable Chromecast Ultra. The company has also changed the icon -- it now has the shape of a house in Google's signature blue, yellow, green and red color scheme. Unlike other Android 7.1 Nougat icons, the Google Home icon is not rounded. The app, which was formerly called Chromecast, is now Artificial Intelligence- and smart home-compatible.
