Google Home app receives redesigned ‘Photo Frame’ settings and possible ‘Weather Frog’ display option

As well as preparing a new “Google Weather Frog” option for clock faces, the Home companion application presently has an upgraded UI while choosing albums for your Nest Hub Photo Frame.

Rather than a matrix of recent albums, you presently get a carousel UI that fairly coordinates with the methodology taken by the on-Smart Display settings menu. “Select family & friends, “Recent highlights,” and “Favorites” show up first, with your made albums appearing reverse-chronological order after.

Selections are featured in blue with the capacity to choose as numerous as you need, however the past top-right checkmark was more clear.

The greater change is an secondary “Preview” carousel. You can continue to look to see every one of the pictures that will ultimately push through your Nest Hub. On iOS, a model time and weather mockup shows up in the base left corner. Google Home for Android simply shows the photos.

This overhaul of Photo Frame settings rolled out to the Google Home application by means of a server-side update. It’s not satisfactory when the new look was first presented.

In the interim, Google seems to change the Home application in another manner. On the second gen Nest Hub, “Display” settings have an alternate button design. Other than the corners being more adjusted, the blue feature/fill is dropped for dim. It’s ambiguously more present day, while the Ambient EQ slider has lost its increment markers. This change doesn’t show up for Hub Max preferences. Ideally, this is important for the possible Material You redesign.
