September Chromecast with Google TV update rolling out

Must read

Following the launch of the Google TV Streamer last month, the next Chromecast with Google TV update (September 2024) is rolling out.

The STTL.240812.006 (from STTE.240615.007) update for the Chromecast with Google TV brings the Android security patch level to September 2024 (from July 2024). This is still Android 12 and not yet reflected in the Google changelog.

At 83.01 MB, it’s smaller than the 143 MB update less than a month ago. As always, there are “Other bug fixes and performance improvements.”

This is the seventh Chromecast with Google TV update in ten months — February, March, April, May, August, September, and October, with Google surpassing the 2023 rollout: January, April, May, July, October, and December.

As of this update, we’re not yet seeing Home Control in Quick Settings.

We’re hopefully close to the big update this year that will bring Android 14 and a “Home runtime” that will allow the Chromecast with Google TV to act as a hub for Matter devices.

On your Chromecast with Google TV, go to Settings > System > About > System update.
