How to change home nickname on Google Home App (not Nest app)

Ysusanto — Thu, 12 May 2022 00:51:55 GMT

Hi,

I cannot seem to find a way to change my home nickname on Google Home app. I searched high and low on Google, too. They showed only how to change it on Nest Apps, but it doesn't reflect on Google Home app. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

Hey Ysusanto,

Thanks for reaching out. Give these steps a try:

Open the Google Home app and tap the Settings cog.
Tap Home information.
Tap Home nickname.
Change the name of your home and tap Save at the top right.

Keep us posted.

Thanks,

Alex

No.

Thanks Alex.

Do you have the Google Home App? Do you see these options.

I don't see these settings. This setting is only for Nest App, not Google Home App.

On Google Home App, there is an option of Home App Settings, but no home information or anything like that.

Hey Ysusanto,

Thanks for the update.

Have you tried reinstalling your Google Home app? If you'll get the same result, try using a different phone/tablet.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi, I still don't see the option. I have android phone, Samsung S10 plus and S8 tablet, both are showing the same option for setting.
