As well as preparing a new “Google Weather Frog” option for clock faces, the Home companion app presently has an updated UI while picking albums for your Nest Hub Photo Frame.
Rather than a grid of recent albums, you currently get a carousel UI that to some degree 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 in reverse-chronological order after.
Selections are featured in blue with the ability to select as numerous as you want, however the past top-right checkmark was more clear.
The greater change is an optional “Preview” carousel. You can continue to scroll to see every one of the pictures that will ultimately cycle through your Nest Hub. On iOS, an example time and weather mockup shows up in the bottom-left corner. Google Home for Android simply shows the photos.
This upgrade of Photo Frame settings carried out to the Google Home application by means of a server-side update. It’s not clear when the new look was first presented.
In the mean time, Google seems to change the Home app in another manner. On the second-gen Nest Hub, “Display” settings have an alternate button design. Other than the corners being more rounded, the blue highlight/fill is dropped for gray. It’s ambiguously more modern, while the Ambient EQ slider has lost its augmentation markers. This change doesn’t show up for Hub Max preferences. Ideally, this is part of the eventual Material You redesign.
