Other users chimed in, stating the Android 14 update for the Chromecast with Google TV caused severe problems with external storage. Another report said the same and that their device "won't recognize" their storage drive. Aside from these problems, one user claims, after updating, their Chromecast remote isn't working as it did previously.

As Android Police reports, Google discontinued the Chromecast line-up in 2024 in favor of the new Google TV Streamer. But Google did promise that while the older devices can't match the new Streamer in terms of hardware capability (the Streamer is also a Thread hub for smart homes), it still intended to bring them the Android 14 update.

Google is starting to roll out the Android 14 update for Chromecast with Google TV. The new OS update weighs in at 809MB and adds support for Find My Remote and Customizable Button. Some users claim they are experiencing some issues since installing the update.
