Google confirms Android’s new ‘Family Hub’ feature, and this is what it looks like [Gallery]

<a href="https://myappsplus.com/google-messages-redesigning-pinned-chats-and-moving-search/” title=”Google Messages redesigning pinned chats and moving search”>Google is launching a new “Family Hub” feature in Android’s Settings menu and, while the rollout has yet to begin, we do have an early look at the feature.

In the November 2026 Google System Update for Android, Google confirms that it is about to roll out a new “Family Hub” feature in Settings. This is a central location for family account settings, as Google explains:

You can now access the Android Family Hub, a dedicated space for family management tools in Android Settings.

Google could start rolling out this feature at any time now, but we’ve yet to see any evidence that it is widely showing up for users at this time.

That said, the folks over at Android Authority did recently spot early arrivals of the feature, offering a quick look at what to expect (in German). A new “Family” section appears in the Settings menu between your Google account and Network settings (at least on Pixel). Tapping through then shows a list of family accounts connected to yours and controls for various sharing and permission options. There’s even a section for Calendar events.

As mentioned, this could roll out at any time seeing as Google has officially announced it at this point. Let us know in the comments below if it shows up on your device.
