Nest doorbell recognizes faces but isn’t saying who it is anymore - just familiar face.

Dbarry93 — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 18:06:50 GMT

Hi,

My Nest doorbell used to send my phone a notification saying who was at the door. In the last few days, I’ve noticed it now just says familiar face at the front door. All my people are still saved on the nest app. Any ideas what’s going on? Is it a big in a recent software update?

It’s really annoying!!

Thanks in advance
