June has just rolled in, and with it comes the June 2026 Android Drop, bringing a plethora of new features across Google apps. From a powerful new security tool that unmasks contact-spoofing scammers to an expanded rollout of visual search tools and AI-powered reading assistants, this massive feature drop is headed to eligible devices starting this month. Hereโ€™s everything new coming with the June 2026 Android Drop:

Last month, Google announced that the Phone by Google app will automatically end spoofed banking scam calls on Android 11 and newer devices in the coming weeks. Google is building on these verified call capabilities with fake call detection, which will give you an alert if it spots suspected scammers impersonating your contacts.

With fake call detection , the Phone by Google app can now verify if a call is actually coming from your contactโ€™s device. If itโ€™s a scammer that is pretending to call from a number you trust, the app will show a warning so you can end the call.

This feature will be available on Android 12 and above devices with the Phone by Google app, Contacts, and Google Messages installed (with RCS active) on both ends. Rollout begins this month with Pixel devices.

Once the requirements are met, the feature is on by default and works automatically behind the scenes through a digital handshake that uses end-to-end encrypted RCS.

Earlier this year, Circle to Search gained the ability to identify multiple objects in a single image, opening the way to deconstruct an entire outfit with a single search query. However, the feature was restricted to the Galaxy S26 series and Pixel 10 series.

Today, Google is expanding Circle to Searchโ€™s multi-object identification capabilities to all Android 14 and above devices that have Circle to Search.
