How do I reset my Google Nest device?

Asked 6 months ago
Resetting a Google Nest device can be a straightforward process, but it varies slightly depending on the specific model you have. Generally, there are two main methods: a software reset through the app, and a hardware reset using the physical buttons on the device. For a software reset, you can typically open the Google Home app on your mobile device, select the specific Nest device, and find the option to reset it in the settings menu. For a hardware reset, most Google Nest devices have a physical reset button located on the device itself. For instance, if you have a Google Nest Mini, you can press and hold the center of the device for about 15 seconds until you hear a confirmation sound. It is important to consult the user manual for your specific model to ensure you follow the correct process.
