- Open the Google Home app .
- Tap Settings Google Assistant Voice Match.
- The app will show you all devices that support Voice Match. Tap a device to enable or disable Voice Match.
- If you don’t have any devices with Voice Match enabled, tap Get started and follow the in-app steps.

Find your Android phone, tablet, or compatible accessory
Say "Hey Google, find my Pixel" or “ring my headphones” and your Google Assistant should ring your device, even if it's set to Do not disturb mode.
Note: If you have multiple devices, you need to be specific on which device needs to be notified. Otherwise, it may ring a different device. Instead of saying “Hey Google, find my phone,” try saying:
- “Hey Google, find my Pixel.”
- “Hey Google, find my Pixel Buds.”
