Google Moves Home & Nest Forums Back to Support Site, Drops Old Accounts and Posts

The relaunch signals a push for a cleaner, product-focused community with future Google Home app tie-ins.

Overview

  • Google has shifted the Home & Nest Community back to support.google.com/googlenest/community, which now requires Google Account sign-in.
  • The redesigned site organizes help into ten product forums, including a new Gemini for Home section.
  • Legacy Nest community accounts, badges, and ranks will not transfer, and Google will delete content left on the old site on June 30, 2026.
  • The company says the overhaul aims to streamline discussions, surface useful answers, and cut spam.
  • The Fitbit community is scheduled to migrate to the same platform on May 19.
