Ring to launch Neighbours community app in the UK

Ring, the maker of Amazon’s doorbell cameras, announced that it will roll out its “Neighbours” community app in the United Kingdom later this year. The platform is positioned as a modern alternative to the informal neighbourhood groups that currently operate on WhatsApp and Facebook, offering a dedicated space for residents to share information about local safety, community events and lost pets.

Neighbours functions as a digital message board where users can post alerts, request assistance and coordinate neighbourhood initiatives directly through the app. By integrating Ring’s existing security hardware with a social‑media‑style feed, the company aims to streamline communication and improve response times for safety‑related concerns. The launch reflects a broader trend toward specialized community tools, and Ring expects the service to foster more organized and secure neighbourhood interactions.
