Google television users, rejoice: Google Play Store is available for Chromecast too. Google is going to lay down the gauntlet and make it not easy in 2024. It was in February, during the previous update, that Fast Pair technology was introduced for smooth device connection and a switcher for sound output. The March 2024 security patch is being rolled out now, and this is the new update.
This improved update file is a smaller footprint of 72.55MB instead of the huge 169MB file in February which is targeted at enriching the security of the system by using the patch. Unveiling of more precise details for this release is yet to be unleashed (the online release notes are still waiting for an update). However, the script probably includes bug fixes and performance improvements to keep your Chromecast streaming smoothly.
These Google TV Chromecast updates confirm and reconfirm that they are intensifying the rate of releases, something that was dismal for the four months we bid them farewell in 2023. With the help of its innovative security features, Google strives to ensure that streaming devices are always up-to-date and protected from cyber-attacking.
Besides, it is essential here to stress that Chromecast is still available for Android 12 which means, there is no announcement of any voice remote firmware. Google is making minor visual adjustments, such as the introduction of the new, colored app icons on the Chromecast home screen, which allows you to still see apps but in a cleaner way.
To make sure that there are no pending updates available, navigate to Settings > System > System update and then click About on your Chromecast with Google TV. Owing to more updates that are released frequently and the focus on security, our Chromecast experience is at its best and it’s a perfect time to be an owner of Chromecast!
