Delete Pages / Widgets from Google Nest Hub

Samu23 — Wed, 01 May 2024 12:10:59 GMT

Hi there,

Can I customize the Google Nest Hub by deleting pages like the "morning, afternoon, etc"? If not doable, can I delete single widgets like the communication one? Thanks

you cant. My home screen is basically 90% of things i dont want and id never use but you cant remove them, its ridiculous.

Before i bought it i thought i could fully customise it to get the tiles on the homepage that i would use, but my assumptions were wrong, even though its like the cornerstone of any smart display or device ever.

"Add contacts to speed dial"? nope, will never use that.

"Add Apples to my shopping list"? no, never use that.

I just want to arrange my common items in an order that makes sense to my life please!

Hi Folks,

Thank you for posting. I'm sorry that you can't remove the pages or widgets. Help's here.

For this concern, please follow the below steps to change accessibility settings:

Make sure the mobile device is linked to the same account as the Google Nest or Home device.

Open the Google Home app .
Tap Favorites or Devices , then tap the speaker or display Settings Accessibility .
Choose which accessibility setting to turn on or turn off .

Also, there is a good article on how to control the Google Nest display and manage the content you want to show.

Let me know if you need more assistance.

Regards,

Byron

Dear Byron, thanks for your answer. Actually, this does not resolve the issue I'm facing in avoiding some pages to be shown as I understood that the level of screen personalization is very low.

Thanks

@ByronP See attached screenshot. Now tell me how I can remove the tiles I don't want, like I said above, or did you just completely ignore the actual words I wrote because it seems impossible.

Hi Folks,

Thank you for posting. I'm sorry that the previous steps didn't work, @Samu23. I understand that you try to remove those tiles, @Super_paulie.

Unfortunately, we cannot remove the tiles from the Nest Hub. We try to improve our features, so your feedback will be appreciated as we work on updates for the Nest Hub.

Regards,

Byron

isnt it plainly obvious to anyone that you need the ability to remove tiles that are not relevant? submitting feedback of something like that is just ridiculous.

@ByronP surely you can see there is absolutely no use in having a tile saying "Add Contacts!" on the dashboard at all times when its not required, as opposed to something like a tile that i use every single day?

On your phone homepage do you have a massive icon saying "Click here to do a task you dont want" that you cant get rid of?
