this is the best answer i get. keep trying to update your thermostat until you see that version... mines still on 2.1-25. i hit check for update like 4x a day. im on all the preview programs etc... its ridic that in 2025. google doesnt let me get the update when i want it... i have to just be at the mercy of whenever they decide its ready for my device or something. ugh.
"The new Farsight options, including the new designs, are expected to be included in Version 2.3 for the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen). This update is scheduled to start rolling out on October 13, 2025.
Please keep in mind that some software updates may take a few weeks to reach all Nest thermostats that are connected to Wi-Fi."

Just installed new 4th gen thermostat (3rd gen broke). New faces aren’t available yet. Attempts to manually update current version 2.1-25 just says “up to date” but as mentioned in your post, new faces are in version 2.3. Your comment states that updates “start to roll out” 13 OCT 2025 but no mention of how long it might take to reach all devices. I’m guessing it will probably take another week or two before the update is available to everyone.

went to check updates on the thermostat on 30 OCT 25 and it was there (wasn’t the day before). Think they sent out the new features email a little prematurely. Nice update though!
10-24-2025 03:43 PM
Same here. No new faces and no updates

Our old NEST 2nd gen Thermostat finally quit last week so I replaced with a new Google Nest 4th gen and was excited to take advantage of the new faces but they dont show up as options. Did successful install and Tstat is online. Latest iOS Google Home app and evreything else on the Tstat seems to be working fine. Wondering if the new faces are live yet or if something else is wrong?

Same for me when checking Settings. Only the original 4 faces are available to choose from.

It is like you did everything right the new Far sight faces might still be rolling out regionally, so it could just take a bit more time. While waiting, I was checking out Luck-pub, a fun app that’s great for quick entertainment between setup tweaks.

I'm also not seeing the new faces. Installed the gen 4s last week and keep checking, both in the app and on the thermostats.
10-24-2025 09:39 PM
I can see them now
10-25-2025 05:36 PM
Great for you Phan, I’m still no show.

I have two Gen 4 thermostats. ONly one has the art backgrounds. Can't get it on the other
one.
10-28-2025 08:24 AM
Went on CHAT today to find out why one gen 4 thermostat has the latest upgrade and the other doesn't. this is the answer I received:
Wait for sometime when your other thermostat gets the update, you can update at that time.
This was useless and a waste of my time.

thanks for the report tho.

I have four 4th generation Nest Learning thermostats. Two received the update to 2.3, the other two haven’t yet. Pretty dumb way to roll this out.
10-28-2025 06:26 PM
totally agree

FYI third of four now updated to 2.3. One to go. What a silly way to roll out the new software.
