Many users, including myself, have seen this. It started happening after the most recent Nest app update. For me on iOS, it is version 5.68.0. Prior to this, flawless.

Hi folks,

 

I'm sorry to hear that. Let's get this sorted out. A few questions: What is the make and model of your iOS device and the iOS version? Also, what is the mobile app version?

 

You can try these steps: 

 

  1. Verify the device’s Date and Time settings are correct and automatically set.
  2. Confirm that the Nest or Google Home app has permissions to use the phone's location.
  3. Check the ‎Apple Store for Nest or Google Home app updates.
  4. Check for any available iOS updates.
  5. Sign out of the Nest or Google Home app and sign back in.
  6. Force close the Nest or Google Home app.
  7. Test if the issue persists on both Wi-Fi and cellular data, if applicable.
  8. Uninstall the Nest or Google Home app.
  9. Power cycle the device.
  10. Reinstall the Nest or Google Home app from the Apple App Store.
  11. Try another compatible device or computer, if available.

Regards,

Steve

Hey folks,

 

How's it going with your cameras — were you able to see Steve response?

 

Thanks,

Hi Archie / Steve,

 

I've done all that, but nothing has changed. Both in the 'GOOGLE HOME' app and in the 'NEST' app. The NEST app is the worst and I don't think Google is developing it anymore. If I had known this beforehand, I would never have opted for the Nest cameras.

The app store is full of negative reviews following the latest 'update' of the Nest app (5.68.0). And despite that no update for months. And over the last few years no more than a few bug fixes...

It is clear to me that there is something wrong with the app and I cannot imagine that this is not known to Google. I'm curious about Google's opinion/statement and what and when they are going to do about it instead of continuing to ask every customer to continue to report all defects.

This certainly won't have any effect, but at least I said it.

Thanks!

Hi Brad,
I don't know what to say, but nothing has changed at all. Also no update of the NEST APP. Still not since the crappy April update (5.68.0).

Tried everything suggested, but I'd like to hear from Google, why isn't there a solution? Same story in the Google Home app btw.

Hope somebody can help!!!

I am simply the messenger, I do not know of any updates to this issue I'm afraid. I am sure that Google will have an update or solution soon.

 

Best regards,

Same problem here. They need to revert back to the old update but they keep making it worse with every iteration and I frankly do not see any tangible changes to the app, in fact I have not seen any real updates to the app since google bought Nest years ago. yet it gets worse and worse

And my alternative doesn't work either. Google Home. The image of the camera keeps freezing and you can't see that, because no time is displayed. Can someone from google respond and explain!?! I can no longer use my cameras this way. Waste of money.

We pay money to use this subscription and to not have your video from your security cameras work property is a disgrace. The bigger the company the worse it gets. When will a company  ever do the right things for their customers. It should be an easy fix on your end so we can stream our video footage correctly instead of closing out the app 10xs before I can see the particular spot of video. It drives me nuts.
