Google Blocks Xiaomi Integrations Over Privacy Concerns
2020-01-06 17:34

Google last week disabled all Xiaomi integrations on Nest Hub after learning that some users could access other people's camera feeds.

Although the Mi Home Security Camera Basic 1080p was found at fault, Google decided to disable all Xiaomi integrations on its devices.

After a thorough investigation, Google decided to re-enable Xiaomi device integrations, but left camera streaming disabled.

"We will not reinstate camera functionality for Xiaomi devices until we are confident that the issue has been fully resolved. We'll keep you updated with information as more becomes available to share," Google said.

Although Google has re-enabled Xiaomi integration on Nest Hub, many users are still complaining of failed attempts to reconnect their devices, comments on Google's support website reveal.
