Google’s June Android Drop Could End AI Scam Calls for Good ...Middle East

Here's how it works: A scammer sets up a call that appears to be from your mom. The caller ID is spoofed, and thanks to AI, it looks like your mom and it sounds like your mom. Before you can think of an excuse to not come home for Christmas, she's demanding $100 to cover an emergency with the plumbing.

With fake call detection, rolling out now in the Google Phone app on devices running Android 12 or later, that call should be flagged. You'll see a message on screen saying that your mom may not actually be your mom, and encouraging you to hang up. (Then you can call her from your end, to see if she really does need the money.)

If the call is from a deepfaked AI character, that signal will be missing, and the Phone app will tell you about it. The security feature is going to be on by default once the update rolls out, though you can turn it off through the settings screen in the Google Phone app (tap the menu button, top left, to find them).

Here's what else is coming to the June Android drop

There's more to talk about in the June Android Drop, as well, though fake call detection is the headline feature. As tends to be the case, some of these features have previously been announced for select handsets, and are now becoming more widely available.

Then there's a wardrobe feature for Google Photos, announced last month and now heading to devices running Android 10 or later in the U.S., India, and Brazil. You get a new wardrobe section in the app, with items of clothing pulled from your photo library—you can browse these items by type, mix and match them together, and use AI to try on any combination of items.

There's an interesting update for Google Play Books: book insights. You get a "catch me up" option for summarizing the plot up to the current position (handy if you're returning to a book after an extended period), as well as the ability to ask questions about passages, themes, context, and characters.

Lastly, there are more combinations available in the Emoji Kitchen, Google's custom tool for combining emojis in a variety of fun ways—these emojis can be shared through the Gboard keyboard. With Android 17 now in beta testing as well, there should be more new features to look forward to in the coming months.
