Just as seen with the Amazon Echos, the Google Home can be connected to the phone using two solutions. To help you in the whole procedure, we have decided to create an ad hoc tutorial in which we will explain exactly how to connect Google Home to smartphone following two methods. The first is the easiest one as it consists in using Bluetooth technology while the second involves the use of an AUX cable, even if in the latter case it will be necessary to perform an extra step that is not particularly easy.

- In the next step, tap on thegear present at the top right and then select Paired Bluetooth devices.
- Now, press the button Activate pairing mode located at the bottom right in order to enable pairing mode.
