Google is rolling out deepfake call detection for Android to combat impersonation scams, which cost Americans nearly $3 billion in 2024. The feature verifies calls appearing to come from known contacts by checking for authentication signals missing in spoofed relay calls. This addresses growing concerns about AI voice cloning tools that make it difficult to distinguish real callers from sophisticated fakes.

The protection requires both caller and recipient to have Google's Phone, Contacts, and Messages apps installed. When a potential spoof call is detected, users receive a pop-up warning that the person may not be who they claim to be. This builds on Google's existing scam detection systems that use on-device AI to identify suspicious caller behavior.

Google is also expanding its "Find the Look" feature in Circle to Search to more Android devices and adding an AI fashion engine to Google Photos. Additionally, AirDrop support now extends to Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi, and HONOR devices, though contact-based sharing from Android remains limited.
