I can't view my history of questions I've asked my Google Home anymore

[SunnyRio]

I used to see the history of everything I've asked my Google Home speaker, by looking at my Android phone.  Now it has one entry  from 4 days ago, and two from 2 days before, but most is missing.  I have auto delete off.  I have not deleted any myself.  My speaker seems to have a main account (the one I posted this from) and a secondary one, I've checked the activity on both.  Where is it?  I sometimes like to look back at what I asked.  Perhaps I changed a privacy setting somewhere else in Google which affected it.  What should I look for?

Hi SunnyRio,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

Open Activity in the Google Home app to review important events in your home. You can also add filters to create a customized list of events.

Activity shows you information like:

• Activity detected by your Google Nest products, like Nest camera events
• Network issues detected by Nest Wifi
• Reminders about additional features and services for your Google Home and Nest products

Note: To get notified about important home events, even if you forget to check your activity, turn on Google Home app notifications.

Your Home history shows you events that happened in your home, like Household Routines that started or Nest camera events.

 

Check the Home history

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. Tap Activity  You’ll get a list of home events, starting with the most recent.
3. To scroll through your history, swipe up or down.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Princess

If I open "activity" in the Google Home app on my phone, I see this:

How do I tell it to start recording events again?  Have I accidentally turned on some privacy mode?

Hey SunnyRio,

Chiming in to ensure everything is covered here. Please note that "Activity" on the home page is dedicated to camera events. Follow the steps below to check the Google Assistant activity history:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Settings > Privacy > Home Activity.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Thanks, I've found it, I didn't realise there were two sections on activity.

However "activity" on the main screen of the Google Home app is very misleading.  I would call asking the Google Home a question, activity.  It doesn't say "camera activity", just "activity".

Sorry I can't mark your answer as the correct one, as Google has gone and logged me in as a different account again and I can't change it.  I can log out, but when I try to log in, it does it itself and doesn't ask which account.  Google is doing this across everything, Youtube, etc, etc, and it's very annoying.  I don't use the same account for each product of theirs!
