Nest App keeps dropping service

Hello, 

My Nest app on my iPhone keeps losing connection to the Nest service when i'm looking at video feeds or at the thermostat.  I have to try and hit back and let it refresh.  Using the Google Home app never drops but i can't look at the full video feeds.  Any ideas how to fix this? 

thanks, 

Kevin

Please let me know.

Hey there, 

Thanks for the additional information. Have you tried clearing the cache from the app within your phone's settings?

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there, 

Here are the steps. 
 

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap on General. How to clear iPhone cache (Image credit: Future)
  3. Tap on iPhone Storage.
  4. Here, you'll see an exhaustive list of apps on your phone. ...
  5. You'll get a message informing you that the app will be deleted, but its documents and data will remain.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey there, 

I would try those steps again, and uninstall and reinstall the app once more and see if that helps again. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello,

I sent the feedback through the link you provided and awaiting to hear back from them.  Is there a way to view full logs in the Google home app?  Thanks!!

Hey there, 

Via the Google Home app: Open Google Home and click on the hamburger icon (the three horizontal lines in the top left). In the drop-down list, click on "My Activity" and you'll soon see a list of all the interactions you've had with Google Assistant.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi there, 

Unfortunately that isn't an option within the Google Home app and you can only do so in the Nest app with the Nest Aware subscription. 


Please let me know if you have any other questions.
