Set up the Google Assistant with a voice-enabled Sonos product
This article will guide you through setting up the Google Assistant on your voice-enabled Sonos product. You can also set up the Google Assistant on Sonos using other devices, like a Google Home. See our article on setting up a Google Assistant device to control Sonos to learn how.
The Google Assistant is available on Sonos Arc, Beam (Gen 1 and 2), Move, One, and Roam.
Important Note
- As of September 2026, Google Assistant is no longer able to be added from an Android device due to the removal of the service.
- Existing Google Assistant integrations with Sonos will continue to operate if they had previously been added using an Android device.
- If an existing Google Assistant setup is removed from Sonos, an iOS device will be required to add the Assistant again.

Get started
Open the Sonos app for iOS and navigate to your voice assistant settings to add the Google Assistant.

Set up your speaker in the Google Assistant app
After selecting your speaker in the Sonos app, you’ll be taken to the Google Assistant app.
During the Google Assistant app’s setup process, you will:
- Give the Sonos product permission to use your Google account
- Provide your address for location-based services
- Add content services to your Google Assistant, and choose a default content service.
After adding your Sonos product, go back to the Sonos app to finish the setup process.

Finish the setup process in the Sonos app
When you return to the Sonos app, confirm that you’ve set a default content service in the Google Assistant app, and choose whether or not your Sonos product will chime when you say the “Hey Google” wake word.
You can turn the wake word chime on and off in the Sonos app’s settings.

Use the Google Assistant with your Sonos product
After the Google Assistant has been set up, you’re ready to use the Google Assistant with Sonos.
You can add the Google Assistant to additional Sonos speakers by repeating steps 1 - 3 for each product.
Supported content services
To see available content services, open the Assistant app for iOS, select your profile icon to get to your account page, and then select Music. Available services are listed under More Music Services. Content service availability will vary by region.
You can ask your Google Assistant to play music from iHeartRadio, TIDAL, and TuneIn Radio if those services are already added to your Sonos system, but they can’t be directly added to your Google Assistant app.
