How To Reset Google Nest Hub

Before you do anything else with your Google Nest Hub, whether you’re seeking to trade it in for a new smart display or you’re experiencing issues with it and need to send it in for servicing, you’ll want to do a factory reset. Fortunately, the procedure is very straightforward. In this guide, we’ll take a look at how to reset Google Nest Hub as well as the various reasons why you may need to do so.

Reasons to Reset Google Nest Hub

A person may want to factory reset their Google Nest Hub for a variety of reasons. The most obvious reason is that they will upgrade to a Google Home Max and will no longer require their Nest. A factory reset would allow you to sell or donate your old hub to a friend or family member without having to worry about your account being tied to it. 

Another reason to reset it is for security reasons. While Google denies that the Nest Hub has any security weaknesses, several people believe it does. Given the number of data breaches (including Google) and device hackings that have made headlines in the last year, it’s fair that you’d be leery of any gadget that may be hacked or disclose your data in any way. Although factory resetting your hub will remove all of your data from the device, there isn’t much you can do about it right now if it has been collecting data the entire time you’ve been using it.
