The latest update for the Google Home app brings support for a new ‘Smart Ringing’ feature that automatically disables alerts for incoming calls when you’re not at home. The feature was first spotted in an APK teardown of the Google app late last year, and it’s now finally making its way to users.
As per a recent 9to5Google report, Google Home v2.36 has started rolling out on iOS and Android. The update includes the new Smart Ring feature, which detects your phone’s location to automatically enable or disable incoming call alerts on smart home devices. According to the description provided in the app, “when your phone isn’t at home, the Assistant enabled speakers and displays that you’ve set up with Duo or linked call providers will no longer ring and allow someone else in your home to pick up your call.”
