Sadly Google doesn’t have a number you can just call.

Think about it, they’re one of the biggest companies in the world and for security reasons, they likely don’t want you to call them about small issues like password resets.

But if you have an Android phone and a non-urgent issue, you can contact Google using the following steps:

  1. Open your Android Settings.
  2. Scroll down to Tips & Support or search for “Google Support”.
  3. Scroll down to Contact Us and follow the instructions.
