Google Home has quickly established itself as one of the most important smart devices in the world.

There are currently three Google Home devices on the market - Google Home Mini, Google Home and Google Home Max. Equipped with Google's google voice assistant, they all can be used to control all other smart home devices.

One of the coolest things about Google Home is that it resembles a vast wildlife with a whole host of features that you may not be aware of. Sure, everyone knows they can claim the weather for Google Home. But what can you do?

In this article, we give you an overview of the 5 best features of Google Home.
1. Google Home Broadcast - Use Google Home as an intercom

Google Home Broadcast is one of Google Home's most important and valuable feature. With this feature, you can use Google Home as an intercom to communicate effortlessly with people around your home.

To use this feature, you need to set up Google Home devices throughout your home at key points. You need to set up different Google Home devices, Google Home speakers, and other Google Assistant support devices on the same WiFi network.

You can either transfer the matter to your Google account on your phone or any of the devices. The message will be broadcast to all devices. As such, you can use a single Google Home device as an intercom to broadcast a message throughout the home.
2. Find my phone

Do you lose your phone often? Well, you have nothing to worry about anymore.

You can simply tell your Google homepage, "OK Google find my phone", and your phone will start ringing. This feature works on iOS and Android devices - however, Google Assistant on Android phones can also ring the phone if it is on silent.
3. Digital Wellbeing

Do you fear that your children will be exposed to sensitive or mature content on the Internet? Google Home gives you an easy option to protect them and set restrictions on their phone.

You can set up the Digital Wellbeing feature by going to Settings> Digital Wellbeing and following the onscreen prompts. Within minutes, you can filter the mature content from their phones, turn off some features, and schedule screen time.
4. Voice shopping with Google Home and Assistant

With Google Home & Assistant, you can now shop for products from many participating retail outlets across the United States. Google's online shopping service - which it calls Google Express - can be accessed through Android and iOS apps.

Once you get the app, you can use voice commands transmitted via your Google Home device to shop from stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Walgreens, Guitar Center, L'Occitane, and many more.
5. White noise

Do you have trouble sleeping? Do you need white noise to fall asleep?

With Google Home, you can comfortably play white noise to help you drift into a quiet slumber. You can simply command, "Google, play the sound of rain", or "Google, play the sound of rain." Google Home will start playing white noise until you fall asleep.
