Hi Glasslady,

A Google Nest Hub will display either the clock or photograph's on the main screen and this can not be altered to have games and contacts displaying all the time.

You can access contacts and games but this requires swiping downwards on the screen to access the other options.

The reason for this is due to something called 'screen burn in' when the same static image is displayed for long periods it can leave a permanent marking on the pixels of the screen.

If you have an Apple phone then you are an iOS (I operating system) user.

Set up instructions:

Hi again,

A Google Nest Hub is a smart display and can not install apps like a phone. Instead you use assistant actions and you can find a directory of the different actions available here....

Please have a look at the Google Nest help center link below for more information about setting up contacts.
