How to change google home notification sound on iPhone?

andyw248 — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 15:04:58 GMT

How do I change the notification sound of the google home app on an iPhone 13? I only see the green slider to turn sound on or off, but I don't see how I can change the sound to a different ringtone.

I'm using the google home app to manage a set of google nest cameras around the house.

Hi andyw248,

Thanks for reaching out.

I understand what you mean, and upon checking the iPhone's settings, there's no way that we can customize the notification on your phone. What we only have here is to change the doorbell sounds via the Nest app. If you want to know more about this, you can check this link as your reference.

Hope this answers your question.

Best,

Princess

Thanks for asking! From Princess' response it appears as though there is no way to select tones to be played by the iPhone whenever a camera detects something. The only option is to turn sound off or on. I think this is a missing feature. I think the default alert tone for camera alerts is quite moderate - and I would like to be able to select a more aggressive ringtone for camera alerts.
