You can now use Google Assistant’s Family Broadcast feature to send messages to Android devices and iPhones using the Google Assistant app. Your family can then reply from their devices, creating a fun little back-and-forth that’s a lot more convenient than calling someone (for small requests, at least).

Previously, you could only send these broadcasts to specific Google Home speakers and smart displays on the same wifi network, but the expanded device support makes broadcasts effective for communicating with your entire family at any time. Use them to let your family know when dinner is ready, if you’re running late, or to blast important messages to everyone’s devices with a single Google Assistant command.
