help Ring Neighborhoods FAQ
Was Ring Neighborhoods replaced by the Neighbors app?
Yes. Ring turned the Neighborhoods feature from its main Ring app into the standalone, free Neighbors app, so current references generally use the name Neighbors by Ring.
Do I need a Ring doorbell to join Ring Neighborhoods?
No. People can use the Neighbors app without owning a Ring camera or doorbell, although Ring owners can choose to share clips captured by their devices.
Can other users see my exact address in Ring Neighborhoods?
Ordinary neighborhood posts do not publicly display the author's exact home address. Users should still avoid posting footage of places where another person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as a neighbor's backyard.
Can police request my Ring footage through Neighborhoods?
Ring discontinued its Request for Assistance tool in 2024, so agencies can no longer use that feature to solicit footage inside Neighbors. Public-safety organizations can still publish alerts and community updates in the app.
