How Do I Access Google Family Bell?

Google Family Bell is available through the Google Assistant settings menu on your Android device.

What Can You Do With a Family Bell?

Family Bell allows you to create repeating alerts to help you and your family members remember various tasks and events. You can create a Family Bell for any event you like, set any time for the announcement to occur, and have it repeat on the specific days of the week that you want. You can also set a Family Bell to broadcast to one specific Google Home device, several devices, your Android phones, or any combination you require. Once you’ve created a Family Bell, you can delete or alter it whenever you want. You can remove bells altogether, change the date and time, and change which devices receive an alert. Bells can also be paused one at a time or all at once. For example, if you’re going on vacation and won’t need your bells for a week, you can disable them temporarily and have them automatically start up again when you get home.

Or, if you have a bell to remind the whole family to gather for dinner, you can have it broadcast to all of your Google Home devices and Android phones.

If you decide that you no longer want to use Family Bell, you can delete or disable each of your bells using the method described above. You can also pause all of your bells at once, which is helpful if you won’t need them for a while. Here’s how to disable your Family Bells:
