Nest Hub bug confuses it between AM-PM, but Google is on it

• A Nest Hub (2nd Gen) bug verbally confirms PM alarms as being set for the morning.
• The alarm itself still appears to be set correctly, so this seems to be a spoken confirmation glitch.
• Google says it’s aware of the issue, has identified a fix, and will share when it rolls out.

A smart display can get plenty of things wrong without ruining your day. Mishearing a song request or calling the weather wrong isn’t the end of the world, but if you ask it to set an alarm for something important later that afternoon, it’s not ideal if it leaves you wondering whether it has just scheduled your reminder for the cold, dark misery of 4 AM. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what one odd Google Nest Hub bug seems to be doing.

A Reddit user on the r/googlehome subreddit reports that their second-generation Nest Hub is verbally confirming some PM alarms as AM alarms. If they ask the Hub at 1 PM to set an alarm for 4, the device replies that the alarm is set for 4 AM. The same thing happens if they ask for an alarm “in three hours,” at 1 PM, with the Hub again informing them that their 4 AM alarm has been implemented.
