    Description:
    The Home Assistant project has published an update on improvements in its Android app, and plans for upcoming releases: In our latest update of the Android app 2025.7.1 , we've added a
    couple of useful features. Including a new basic invite flow, which
    will be shared between Android and iOS, adding a good layer of
    consistency between our most-used companion apps. The idea is to make
    it much more seamless to add new users or set up new devices (no need
    to type the URL in your Android Automotive device!). We've also made My
    Links work better. If you're unfamiliar with My Links, they're
    those cool links ( that anyone can
    make ) that bring you right to an integration, blueprint, add-on,
    or settings page. They have always worked great on desktop, but up
    until recently, they were a bit clunky to use on mobile. Now you can
    get to the link's destination with a single click. LWN looked at Home
    Assistant in May.
