Hi Galvar,

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand your iPhone is no longer chiming when your doorbell is pressed. Let's troubleshoot this together to get your notifications working again.

Here are some key areas we can check on your iPhone to ensure you're receiving doorbell press notifications:

1. iPhone Notification Settings for the Relevant App:

• For the Google Home App:

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.

  • Tap Notifications.

  • Scroll down and select Home or Google Home.

  • Make sure Allow Notifications is toggled on.

  • Under Alerts, verify that Lock Screen, Notification Center, and Banners are all checked.

  • Tap on Sounds and ensure a specific sound is selected (not "Default").

  • If available, tap Notification Categories and confirm that the Doorbell category has sounds enabled and a sound selected.

• For the Nest App (if you are still using it):

  • Repeat the steps above, but locate and select the Nest app in your iPhone's notification settings.

2. Doorbell Visitor Announcement Settings within the Google Home App:

Depending on your Nest Doorbell model, the settings for visitor announcements (which trigger the chime notification) can be found in the Google Home app. Here's how to check:

• Newer Nest Doorbell Models and Other Compatible Doorbells:

  1. Open the Google Home app .

  2. Tap and hold the tile of your doorbell.

  3. In the top right corner, tap Settings > Doorbell.

  4. Ensure visitor announcements are turned on.

• Nest Doorbell (wired, 1st gen):

  1. Open the Nest app .

  2. Tap and hold your doorbell's tile.

  3. Tap Settings > Visitor announcements. This will redirect you to the Google Home app to manage this setting. Please follow the steps for newer models once in the Google Home app.

If you've checked these settings and the issue persists, providing me with your specific Nest Doorbell model will allow me to offer more tailored troubleshooting steps.

Best regards,

Kevin
