Google's Android June Feature Drop comes with new scammer detection, expanded AirDrop support

Google has released its June 2026 Android Feature Drop, and it comes with features that spot scammers, plan outfits, and improve iPhone integration. 

With the June Feature Drop, users of the Phone by Google app (the default dialer on most Android phones) can now detect fake calls by scammers pretending to be your one of your contacts. This works even if the scammers spoof the phone number and use AI deepfake technology to sound just like them by using RCS technology to verify if the phone reaching out to you is really who they say they are. It works if your contact uses Phone by Google as well, though Google doesn't say what happens if they're using say, an iPhone.

For fashionistas, Google is debuting two new features. The first lets you find what outfits people are wearing using Circle to Search, while the second lets you try out new outfits virtually with Google Photos wardrobe. Wardrobe is only available to users in the U.S., India, and Brazil, while the Circle to Search feature is available for all Android 14 and above devices which have access to Circle to Search.

Google also says it's bringing AirDrop support via Quick Share to more devices. Xiaomi already announced it would be bringing it to the Xiaomi 17T Pro, and Google lists the current list of AirDrop capable Android phones as including every Pixel newer than the Pixel 8a, the Galaxy S24 - S26 series as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and newer, Galaxy Z Flip 6 and newer, Galaxy Z Trifold, Oppo Find X9 series, Oppo Find N6, Honor Magic V6, Vivo X300 series, and the OnePlus 15. The Oppo Find X8 series, Motorola razr fold 2026, and Honor Magic 8 Pro are coming soon.  

Other new features include enhancement to the Personal Safety app aimed at kids under 13, a new reading companion in the Google Play Books app, and new emoji coming to Emoji Kitchen,
