Fake call detection (Image credit: Google) Technology is making it increasingly hard to tell if a call is genuine or a scam, with some scammers even able to spoof numbers in your phone book, so a call might appear to be coming from a friend or family member when its actually not.

But Google has now launched a fake call detection tool that can automatically verify whether a call is genuinely coming from your contacts device or not.
If it isnt, an alert will pop up on your screen so youll know to end the
call.

Fake call detection is available now on devices running Android 12 or above, but it requires you to use the Phone by Google app, which limits you to
Pixels and select non-Pixel devices. 2. Google Photos wardrobe (Image credit: Google) Google Photos wardrobe is an upcoming feature that makes it easier to keep track of your various clothes and combine them into outfits.

Google Photos will catalog the various clothes youre wearing in photos, allowing you to filter them by category, such as jewelry or tops, and then combine them into outfits that you can virtually try on, with the app showing you a picture of how you might look in a specific combination.

The rollout of this feature starts next week for devices running Android 10 and above, but initially, it's just for users in the US, India, and Brazil.
3. Find the look with Circle to Search (Image credit: Google) Some Android devices already allow you to circle a whole outfit with Circle to Search and then tap find the look to hunt down each individual piece, but now this tool is expanding to more phones, so that every device running Android 14 or above and that has Circle to Search will be able to make use of it.
