It's called android.

Iphone has always had less ringtones/sounds etc. If it bothers you that much, look for a notification app changer app.

Hey @jasonf .

You can change tones for your doorbell:

  1. Open the Google Home app and select the doorbell
  2. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner and select Settings
  3. Tap on Doorbell
  4. Tap on Doorbell theme

There will always be 6-7 default tones you can select from. During various holidays, you will get additional additional themed tones available that last for a period before and after the holiday.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

I dont have any options like that im in IOS older wired best doorbel 1st gen 

Hey @jasonf .

Thanks for clarifying; the post had the Gen 2 doorbell tagged.

In that case, the same options are available in the Nest app for the Gen 1:

  1. Open the Nest app and select the doorbell
  2. Tap the  Settings icon
  3. Tap on Doorbell theme

also to say im in the UK if thats the reason i dont have themes as an option 

Thanks for the additional information, @jasonf .

The location could be the reason for the missing additional themes but I'm not positive. I'll see what I can find out and let you know either way.

Hi Zoe

 

I checked by no option to change there only in the NEST app but also no option it's just a standard ding dong, the app needs an update.  Rinf offers many different tones you can hear when out
