Please help, I can’t add myself (my contact) to my nest hub so my kids can call me.  They used to be able too.  Now they can’t.

Hi @Jessicanailz06,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I’m sorry to hear that you can’t add your contact on your Nest Hub so your kids can call you. I understand how important this feature is for you. I appreciate you confirming that it was working before. I'm happy to assist.

To gather the necessary information, please answer the following questions:

  • What model of Nest Hub do you have? This article might be helpful: Google Nest speakers and displays.
  • Could you please list the steps that you follow to add yourself as a contact?
  • Are your Nest Hub and Google Home app up to date?
  • Did you receive an error message on your Nest Hub or Google Home app when trying to add your contact?
  • Are you the creator of the Home structure in the Google Home app?

I'll be waiting for your reply.

 

Best regards,

Derick.

I don’t know the model, I bought it several years ago. It’s the best hub max.   And I went to Google home went to communications and clicked add contacts. It shows my own contact but I’m not able to click on it. It does nothing

Hi there!

 

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate you providing the information requested. We need some more information; please answer the following questions:

  • Are you signed into your Google Account on the Nest Hub Max? Are you using the same account across all linked devices?
  • Have you tried adding your contact directly on the Hub Max screen? Are you able to add contacts on other devices like a phone or tablet?
  • Have there been any recent changes to your account or device settings that might have impacted the contact syncing (such as switching accounts or resetting the device)?
  • Is your Google Nest Hub Max running the latest software version? Please verify if there are any updates available for the device.
  • Are you experiencing any Wi-Fi or connectivity issues that could be preventing syncing?

I'll be waiting for your reply.

 

Best regards.

Derick.
