Google is rolling out its Android Family Hub to Pixel phones, adding a new Family section to the Settings app. From there, members of a Google family group can see their family members, shared subscriptions, payment methods and location sharing in one place, rather than going through Google Account pages on the web. Google first listed the feature in its Google System Services release notes under Google Play services v26.43, dated November 2, 2026, describing it as "a dedicated space for family management tools in Android Settings."

Because the feature arrives through Google Play services rather than a full Android release, it does not depend on a system update. It has been seen on a Pixel 11 Pro XL still running the October 2026 update, and on a Pixel 10 Pro, with some owners seeing the section before installing Android 17 QPR2, the latest Pixel system update. As of November 14, 2026, the section is live on several Pixel models, including the Pixel 11 series and the Pixel 10 Pro. The rollout appears to be server-side, so it can appear without any action from the user. Users who do not yet have it can check for a Google Play system update under Settings > Security & privacy > System & updates.S1S2

On Pixel phones, the Family entry sits directly under the Google account at the top of Settings, above the network options. Opening it shows everyone in the family group, including child accounts and anyone sharing a Google One plan. The page offers controls and shortcuts for Google One storage, including the plan and how much of the shared storage the family is using; the Google Play Family Library of shared apps, games and purchases; shared payment methods, such as the family card; and family events in Google Calendar. It also links to other shared services, such as a YouTube Premium family plan.S1S2

The section also handles location and membership. Users can see the live location of family members who share it with them, or send a request to start sharing with someone who does not yet, and can add or remove people from the family group. Each member has a dedicated page showing the benefits shared with that person, their location if shared, and whether they are a parent in the group, with options to remove them or transfer their account. The layout resembles the Family section Apple has long included in iOS Settings beneath the Apple Account banner, which Android had not offered within Settings until now.S1S2
