Hi Reddit! Today, we're announcing a bunch of new Android features as part of the latest Android Drop, bringing Quick Share’s cross-platform sharing capabilities to more devices, a new security tool for detecting phone scammers, new safety tools for kids, and helpful new experiences across Circle to Search, Find Hub, Google Meet, Google Photos, and more. https://preview.redd.it/cd2l0tqhqw4h1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=7772fd43312c37afeca4fae8ccd4b9bc2c8e3b5a Here’s what’s new in the June Android Drop: 1. Quick Share now works with AirDrop on more Android devices Last year, we introduced a way for Quick Share to work with AirDrop on phones with compatible hardware, making wireless file transfers easier than ever between Android and iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. We started rolling this out initially to the Pixel 10 family before expanding support to devices from partners such as Samsung and OPPO. At The Android Show | I/O Edition earlier this month, we announced we’re continuing this expansion to more partners including OnePlus, Vivo, Xiaomi, and HONOR, and today, we’re pleased to say that Quick Share now works with AirDrop on the following devices: Android devices with Quick Share support for AirDrop: Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra Galaxy S25, S25+, S25 Ultra, S25 Edge Galaxy S24, S24+, S24 Ultra Galaxy Z Flip7 Galaxy Z Fold7 Galaxy Z Flip6 Galaxy Z Fold6 Galaxy Z Fold6 (Special Edition) Galaxy Z TriFold Google Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL, 10 Pro Fold, 10a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, 9 Pro Fold, 9a Pixel 8a Xiaomi Xiaomi 17T Pro OnePlus OnePlus 15 OPPO OPPO Find X9, X9 Pro, X9 Ultra, X9s OPPO Find N6 Vivo Vivo X300, X300 Pro, X300 Ultra HONOR HONOR Magic V6 Soon, the Motorola razr fold 2026, OPPO Find X8 series, and HONOR Magic8 Pro will also gain Quick Share support for AirDrop! https://preview.redd.it/s8gzoepfrw4h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=73ffbca77423e3ca1eaa91a9dda27231ca9d8ebe And for other Android phones, you can still securely share files with iPhone, iPad, or macOS users via Quick Share using a QR code.

Detect scammers impersonating your contacts with fake call detection Many people now refuse to pick up calls from unknown numbers, so scammers are shifting strategies and spoofing the phone numbers of trusted contacts. Plus, they’re increasingly using deepfake technology to mimic the voice of family members or trusted authority figures. These tactics have unfortunately made caller ID insufficient for determining who’s actually on the other end of the line, which is why Android is introducing a new feature called fake call detection in Phone by Google. If you and your contact are both using Phone by Google, then fake call detection can detect and flag calls that attempt to spoof your contact's number. When you receive a call from a contact’s number, Android will verify the call is legitimate and actually coming from the contact’s device. If this verification fails, you’ll receive a warning in Phone by Google so you can quickly end the call. https://preview.redd.it/imo8i0rhqw4h1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=d36de63e791f0432618c09db9f27b8b8c1938294 Behind the scenes, fake call detection relies on an end-to-end encrypted digital handshake between devices. When a contact calls you, their device silently sends a confirmation signal to your device to verify the call is legitimate and truly coming from their device. This initial confirmation signal will be missing when a scammer tries to impersonate your trusted contact, triggering your device to ping your contact's actual device to double-check. If your contact’s actual device says, "I'm not making a call right now," you'll receive the aforementioned warning on your screen advising you to hang up. https://preview.redd.it/hk5lzqqhqw4h1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=46ccaede181696020de985742d0ea15ec3ebc50b To protect users from the growing threat of impersonation scams, fake call detection will be enabled by default, but you can disable it at any time in the Phone by Google app settings. We’re rolling out fake call detection globally in Phone by Google to Android 12+ devices this month starting with Pixel devices. You can learn more about this feature in our latest Google Security blog post. 3. Enjoy extra peace of mind with new safety features for kids The Personal Safety app consolidates key safety features in one convenient location, and soon, we’re enabling access to its most helpful features for kids under 13. Kids under 13 will soon be able to display their medical information and emergency contacts on their device’s lock screen. They’ll also be able to enable car crash detection on compatible devices, which automatically alerts emergency services and texts emergency contacts after an accident. Finally, teens will be able to use Personal Safety app location features like Safety Check and real-time sharing with emergency contacts. https://preview.redd.it/xdd9dsqhqw4h1.png?width=1852&format=png&auto=webp&s=21d1409e610a56dd62059f174ff04350ea4f3d7a The Personal Safety app is available globally on Android devices from most OEMs, and you can learn more about how to use it on this page. 4. Get notified when your loved one arrives home safely with Find Hub Find Hub can now notify you when a friend or loved one reaches home, leaves work, or arrives at a location you’ve chosen. You can also set ongoing alerts to avoid having to do manual check-ins. This feature is available globally (except in China and North Korea) and across all languages. https://preview.redd.it/t2o370rhqw4h1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f34c59f5692913dabfc7b3f689893fae79e95e6 Location sharing requires explicit user consent and can be turned off at any time. The person you set an alert for will receive a push notification (if enabled on Find Hub or Google Maps) and email. 5. Scan multiple pages with ease using Google Drive or Files The document scanner within Google Drive, Files, and Pixel Camera lets you effortlessly digitize your physical notebooks, stacks of receipts, or other documents using your phone’s camera. It automatically strips away shadows and enhances images to create clear digital versions of your documents. Now, we’ve enhanced the document scanner to support multi-page scanning. This update allows you to point your camera at multiple pages in the same frame and capture each page as separate documents. And with deduplication support, if you point your camera at a page you’ve already scanned, the scanner will detect it as already scanned. Furthermore, the scanner will try to capture the best frame whenever possible; for example, if you keep pointing your camera to the same page, the scanner will automatically swap the lower-quality frame with a higher-quality one when detected. https://reddit.com/link/1tuyxcv/video/upcxpgrtqw4h1/player This new document scanning experience runs lightning fast and completely on-device. It’s the default document scanning experience in Google Drive, Files, and Pixel Camera for Android devices with 8GB or more RAM. Try it out! 6. Speech translation in Google Meet, now available on Android & in more languages Speech translation in Google Meet allows participants to speak in their native language while others hear the translation in theirs. Compared to captions, which only display text, speech translation preserves the conversational flow by dubbing over the original speech while mimicking the speaker’s tone and cadence. https://preview.redd.it/sseilsqhqw4h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2ad43acb90be6363a1953fa1068a7f7b9219819f We initially launched speech translation in Google Meet on the web and have now brought this feature to the Android app. Speech translation currently works with English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Italian, German, French, and Hindi, though only a single language pair can be active per meeting at any time. Furthermore, the feature requires that at least one participant in the call holds an active AI Pro or Ultra subscription. You can enable it while in a call by tapping the menu icon and then selecting Tools > Speech translation. 7. New Emoji Kitchen combos to express yourself with Gboard is adding a couple of fun new Emoji Kitchen combinations to help you better express how you currently feel.

Seamlessly switch between talking and typing with Gemini Live You can now seamlessly switch back and forth between talking to Gemini Live and typing your prompt within the same chat thread. Gemini maintains full conversational context and will even show you rich information like real-time maps and weather cards or generate visuals. https://preview.redd.it/x8gwrwqhqw4h1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=b8ed38bc1e8bd5f795c84ba18ab8814cd6f03147 This experience is available on devices running Android 9+ in the regions and languages detailed here. 11. Quickly find outfits with Circle to Search Spot someone wearing an outfit you’d like to try while scrolling through social media? Just bring up Circle to Search and select the entire outfit, and it’ll find every item in the outfit all at once, from tops to footwear and everything in between. This saves you from having to perform separate searches for every item or bounce between different apps. https://reddit.com/link/1tuyxcv/video/xazi30woqw4h1/player This feature is now available on all Android 14+ devices that have Circle to Search. 12. Try on new outfits virtually in your Google Photos wardrobe Coming soon, Google Photos will make it easier to mix and match outfits and try them on virtually. The new Google Photos wardrobe feature creates your own personal digital closet by automatically cataloging clothes from your photo library, turning them into individual snapshots you can browse on your phone. You can select pieces of clothing to create an outfit and try it on virtually in Google Photos, and if you like the look, you can save it as a favorite and share it with friends. https://reddit.com/link/1tuyxcv/video/hgvorf1nqw4h1/player Google Photos wardrobe begins rolling out next week to eligible users in the U.S., India, and Brazil with devices running Android 10+. ------------------------------- Head over to android.com/drop to learn more about these new Android features as well as explore features introduced in past Drops, and stay tuned for more features coming soon in the Android 17 update!
