An important new feature is the fake call detection system integrated into “Phone by Google”. This feature is available for devices running Android 12 or higher and checks whether an incoming call actually originates from the device associated with a specific contact. If the system detects a discrepancy, it issues a warning to the user, helping to prevent social engineering and identity fraud.

The update also extends the functionality of Circle to Search for Android 14 users. The tool now supports a comprehensive outfit search, allowing users to identify all components of a look - from shoes to accessories - without having to leave their current application. This is complemented by a new digital wardrobe feature in Google Photos for Android 10+ users in the US, India and Brazil. This tool automatically catalogs the clothes found in the user's photo library, creating a searchable virtual closet.

Teenagers now have access to real-time location sharing and the “Safety Check” function.

In the area of productivity and media, Google Play Books has introduced a reading companion for selected English-language titles. This tool provides summaries of previously read content via a review function and allows readers to ask the AI about specific storylines, characters or topics.
