It wouldn’t be surprising to eventually see other types of notification options showing up.  Imagine how nice it would be to not just get an email from Google if there was an issue showing up in Search Console – such as if Google notices your site has been hacked or an increase in crawl errors.  Or if there was a billing issue in Google AdWords.

To include Google Photos and YouTube into your notifications, simply click the notifications icon, then click the gear icon to access the settings.  Then you will be alerted to notifications from both YouTube and Photos when on various Google properties.
