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:

# 2. 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
