My Nest Doorbell detected a familiar face that resembled someone who was deleted. Now it is saying “Familiar Face -Unused” and identifying the person as not a person. When I click on “Familiar Face - Unused” it says it’s already added to the library, but there is no one there. How do I set up this new person to be identified correctly?

Hi @Nichole527,
This seems to be a bug where the Nest Doorbell is recognizing a familiar face but isn't associating it with a named person in your library. Here are a couple of things you can try to fix it:
1. Remove "Unused" Familiar Face and Re-add the Person:
2. Re-train Familiar Face Recognition:
3. Check for App Updates:
Additional resources:
Troubleshoot familiar face detection.
By trying these steps, you should be able to get your Nest Doorbell to correctly identify the familiar face.
Best,
Brandon.

#1 - there is no unfamiliar face showing in the library. That’s the problem. Although it says is added to the library, it’s not there. It also doesn’t show up in the unfamiliar faces notification.
#2 - I cannot locate this option in any settings, including the settings for the doorbell
#3 - I have verified the app is up-to-date. Would it make sense To uninstall the doorbell and then reinstall? Or reinstall the entire app?

Hi @Nichole527,
After we have tried some troubleshooting steps and we have not found any possible solution since you're not able to see any familiar face we can proceed and perform a Factory Reset Nest Doorbell (Last Resort): This should be a last resort since it erases all settings and recordings. However, it could potentially fix recognition issues.
