Google Home app update makes Speaker Group volume controls much worse

Earlier this week, Google was handed a big blow in its legal tussle with Sonos over patent infringement. The US International Trade Commission found the company guilty of violating Sonos' IP. Due to this, Google was forced to remove unified Speaker Group volume controls. Going forward, users will have to adjust each speaker's sound level individually, with the option of controlling it using the phone's volume buttons completely removed. A new Google Home app update (v2.47.79.5) is now out with the regressions in tow.
