Hi @Conrad1343!

 

Thanks for posting in the community.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience that this Nest Hub 2nd gen may cause you. I understand that you cannot find the option in the settings of the display to activate the sleep sensing and the hand gesture for your device. Let’s solve this together. 

 

To have the sleep sensing tab on your display, you will need to follow the next steps: 

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap the account icon. Select My Activity, then go to Saving activity.
  3. Toggle Web and app activity on and select Include Chrome history and activity from sites, apps, and devices that use Google services.

 

And to activate the quick gestures, follow the next steps:

  1. Open the Google Home app.
  2. Tap Favorites or Devices.
  3. Tap and hold your device's tile.
  4. Tap Settings and go to Recognition & sharing.
  5. Turn Quick Gestures on or off.

Tell me how it goes.

 

Regards,

Daniel.
