  1. Google highlights Circle to Search's scam-text detection

    Google is reminding Android users that Circle to Search can already flag suspicious text messages using AI Overviews, explaining why a message may be fraudulent and suggesting next steps. Android Authority tested the feature and said it works as intended, and Google Lens offers the same scam-checking capability on phones without Circle to Search, including iPhones. Google's broader scam detection features are not available on every Android phone, and newer tools such as enhanced protection mode in Google Messages reach even fewer devices.

  2. AI fakes to warn friends and family about, from fake pets to fake damage photos

    A TechRadar reporter rounds up the AI-generated fakes and scams he has seen over more than a year in Reddit's r/isthisAI community, where users ask others to judge whether photos, videos and messages are real. The categories include faked rental-property damage used to demand money from renters, fake notices and announcements, AI images attached to real news events, romance scams, puppy-sale scams, politically motivated misinformation images, and fabricated documents such as receipts, medical photos and plane tickets. The author says he tested whether ChatGPT would help him create fake certificates, fossils and receipts and that in most cases it did not stop him; the piece advises reverse image searching, checking original sources, being wary of emotionally charged content, and notes Google has widened access to its SynthID Detector, which does not catch all AI content.

  3. Gemini's floating overlay may soon offer 'Shop this' product lookup

    A code teardown by Android Authority indicates Google is developing a "Shop this" screen-context shopping suggestion for Gemini's floating overlay (Floaty UI), with the code found in version 17.66.11.sa.arm64 of the Google Android app. According to AIbase, users browsing products inside third-party apps would not need to switch apps or search manually: Gemini would recognize the item on screen, find where to buy it, summarize key selling points, compare specs and sizes, and suggest similar alternatives in different styles. Both outlets say the feature is in early development and testing, with its final form and app coverage still unconfirmed by Google.
