This is Google June. Android As part of the promotional campaign, it will add pairs of additional equipment (including the Samsung Galaxy S25 series) Apple. AirDrop supports. Google also provides its personal security applications to children under 13 years of age, broadly supports the artificially intelligent wear-in-of-the-dress function in photographs and provides more Android users with the ability to search for articles in clothing through Circle to Seach.

In a post explaining the new telephone application, Google described fraud as a growing threat, and the FBI reported that by 2025 Americans had lost more than $893 million for fraud using artificial intelligence. In order to carry out an attack, the fraudster will cheat your contact's number and then use artificial intelligence to make them sound like friends, family members or authority figures. If you receive these false calls, the Google phone application displays a notice that “someone may pretend to use your contact's number to call” and provides options for ending the call.

Starting with the Pixel phone, Google will use this feature by default for Android 12 and more users. This function is only effective when you and a trusted contact use the Google phone, because the contact's device sends a “silent confirmation signal” to verify that the call is actually from your friend or family. Google states that if the fraudster tries to cheat your contact number, “the initial confirmation signal will be lost”. It stated that it built this feature on the end-to-end encryption of the Communications Enrichment Service (RCS) technology to allow other applications to use it.
