Google nest photo frame

Following my recent test of the Amazon Echo ShowI was curious to see how the comparable Google Nest Hub would perform as a digital picture frame.

By Jennifer Pattison Tuohy , a smart home reporter who's been testing connected gadgets since But they also make excellent digital photo displays. The Nest Hubs are also really easy to use — all you need is a free Google Photos account. You can also share albums with anyone with a Google Photos account , so the grandparents can have a constantly updated feed of snapshots of their grandkids on their own Nest Hub. You can now select any of these albums to display on your Nest Hub.

Photo Frame changes photo for awhile and then will stop. If I say OK Google next photo it will begin displaying photos, changing every couple of seconds and then slow down to the 30 second delay that I have set for changing the photo. May change photo for awhile and then hang again. This started happening to me recently as well. The photos will change for about an hour, then stop and stay on the same photo. If I interact with the device, then the photos will change again for a while then stop. I've tried rebooting, and changing the settings on the app, but nothing has helped. I have the same issue on 2 nests in different locations since the most recent update where I assume a big has been introduced. I double checked the photo frame settings which are all correct and worked fine before the latest update. Thanks for the additional details. Could you please provide a photo or a short video clip showing the changes happened after the update? I wanted to follow up and see if you still needed help.

From our sponsor. I know how challenging it can be when you're having issues with your Google Nest display. I have followed the suggested steps in this thread and others multiple times, all to no effect.

No matter what I try and I've tried everything! Favoring photos, switching between live album and all albums, uploaded duplicates to multiple albums, I have my favorites and all albums with specific photos setup for my photo frame to show on slideshow and half the photos I want to see NEVER show, this is rediculous. What's the deal? Why are they not showing. I've search on some forums if there's any options to stop random slideshow or to put some flags on all foto in order to let them visible as the other that i see more fequently.

The Nest Hub is also a convenient smart home controller and a surprisingly useful smart alarm clock. So, Google made a bigger Nest Hub. It has a inch display, more powerful speakers, and something the smaller version lacks entirely: a camera.

According to Google Photos, I have 8, photos of my two daughters stretching back to the day my eldest was born. The Home Hub is not the largest, most expensive, best sounding, or flashiest smart display you can buy, but it might just be the best one for the most people. It looks almost exactly like a 7-inch touchscreen tablet permanently affixed to a stand in landscape orientation. That stand is covered in fabric — much like the popular Home Mini — and is home to a single, small speaker. Beyond that, the first thing most people notice about the Hub is how small it is.
