Users discovered the news via Reddit user @BrandonYeo; Google has now added a date in the upper right-hand corner of the clock at the left-hand bottom corner of the Nest Hub’s home screen. It’s important to note that this isn’t the same as what you see on the Nest Hub showing the date when It downloaded your library’s images. It is usually displayed on the bottom right of the main screen.
