In this example, we’ll choose Google Photos to view our personal photos. Experimental will pull images from your linked Facebook or Flickr accounts (given that this is experimental, that may change). The fullscreen clock is just what it sounds like you’ll always see a clock face. Google Photos will pull photos from your Google Photos albums Art Gallery will show Google chosen images such as fine art, NASA-generated images, pictures of cities, and so on. On the next screen, you’ll choose what to display when your Google Nest Hub is in Ambient Mode-Google Photos, Art Gallery, Fullscreen clock, or Experimental. Otherwise, tap the more options menu (which looks like three vertical dots), and then “Ambient mode settings.”

If you have a Personalize Ambient option in the lower left-hand corner, tap that. First, open the Google Home app on your phone, scroll to your Google Nest device, and tap its icon just above the words “Play Music.” In this example, we’re using a Hub named Kitchen Display. You will set ambient mode on each Google Nest or Home Hub you have. Activate Ambient Mode on Your Google Nest Hub Unfortunately, Face Grouping isn’t available in the UK, Illinois, or Texas. Google calls this feature Live Albums, and it isn’t limited to the Google Nest Hub. You can share these albums with family and friends using the Google Photos app, too. Impressively, we’ve also seen Google recognize a person with an obscured face based on the outfits they are wearing. Keep doing this and, eventually, Google will learn and accurately display children as they grow even when you haven’t identified specific photos. Initially, Google may not recognize a person at age four and then at age six as the same person, but if you label each with the same name, it will offer to merge the pictures. Take time to identify the people in more than one picture-especially children who may have photos at different stages in life. This is useful later if you want your Google Nest Hub to display specific people (like family members or pets).

You’ll see a row of faces-click on them and label those faces to group your photos by people. Once you do have your photos uploaded, click on the search bar at the top of the screen (to the left of the Upload button).

You can do this from the Google Photos iPhone and Android app as well, but if you already have all your photos on a computer, then you can load up everything at once from the browser. Then upload any images you want to display on your Hubs. But if you haven’t, start by going to Google Photos and logging in with your Google Account. It’s possible that all the photos you care about are already there, especially if you use an Android phone to take your pictures. If you haven’t already, you’ll want to start by uploading your pictures to Google Photos. If you just want to see some beautiful art, however, you can skip straight to turning on Ambient Mode on your Google Nest Hub. To view your photos on your Nest Hub, you’ll need to upload them to Google Photos. You can even choose which people and pets show up on your Hub. If you have more than one Nest or Home Hub, you can even have them show the same set of photos without adding them one at a time to each device-your photos just need to be stored in Google Photos. So, when you’re not working with the Google Nest Hub (which is probably most of the time), why not have it display your photos? Think of those digital photo frames from a decade ago-only, in this case, the final product isn’t terrible.
