For a while, Google has offered its Digital Wellbeing suite of tools to users. These tools allow you to use your digital devices more safely. Digital Wellbeing on a Nest device places restrictions on what kind of media people will hear. Well, thanks to a new update, more people in your household can adjust the Digital Wellbeing settings on your Nest Hub.
Sometimes, it can be tough to keep an eye on the kind of content streaming through your Google Nest Hub. Sometimes, some unsavory lyrics or videos can come through among other things, and that’s not something that concerned parents want. Along with filters, Digital Wellbeing can also let you schedule times for the Nest device to be active. If you have a Google Nest Hub or speaker, then you might want to look into using the Digital Wellbeing platform.
More people can adjust Digital Wellbeing settings for Nest Hub devices
Digital Wellbeing is great, but there is one drawback; only one person is allowed to make changes to settings. That’s the person who set up the account. So, if you wanted to add a new filter or change a schedule, you would have to wait until the account holder does it for you. This is, obviously, rather frustrating.
However, according to a slight change in the Google Nest help page, the company is letting up on its restrictions and allowing other household members to adjust the Digital Wellbeing settings. We’re pretty sure that Google will still have to recognize your voice to allow you to adjust settings. The company did not outright state that. Hopefully, that’s the case, as you don’t want a random stranger being able to make changes to such a crucial part of the Google Nest experience.
Google said that this change is rolling out this month. Well, seeing as there are only two days left in this month, chances are that you have gotten the update.
