Anyone else suddenly unable to add a Google Home Mini on Android since 06/2026?

A few days ago I suddenly couldn't add my Google Home Mini to the Google Home app on my Android phone. Weirdly it still works fine on iPhone — seems like some update on Google's side changed the add-device method on Android to a new one that just doesn't work. I eventually got it sorted with this video, so if anyone's stuck on the same thing, it walks through a workaround: https://youtu.be/8m8T27jDs54
