Scam Detection in Phone by Google and Google Messages already flag more than 5 million suspected scam calls and texts every month. And now we’re introducing further updates to keep you safe before threats reach you:

"I was lucky enough to be one of the first to experience Googlebook, and what surprised me most wasn’t just what I could create, but how much I enjoyed creating it. A little wiggle of the mouse brings Gemini right into my workflow. Ideas turn into visuals faster, experimentation feels more spontaneous, and I can keep creating without losing my flow. It reminded me how much more fun the creative process can be when technology works with your imagination instead of interrupting it." - Gizem Akdag Watch how @gizakdag uses Magic Pointer and Flow on her Googlebook to transform her ideas into beautiful films. ✨

RT @ssamat: It was great catching up with Henry Cavill at the Googlebook Opening Night in NYC! Beyond being a fantastic actor, anyone who knows Henry knows he is a massive tech enthusiast and gamer. And he’s a long-time Android user, too! So when we started talking about what’s possible with Googlebook, a premium laptop for the Android community, we immediately hit it off. That’s why I’m so excited about our new partnership. Henry is teaming up with us to explore the potential of this new platform by building his personal passion projects using Googlebook. Having his unique perspective as both a builder and a player is going to be super helpful as we push the limits of what these machines can do. I can't wait to see what he creates! Huge thanks to everyone who made last night’s event in New York such a memorable milestone for Googlebook.

RT @MishaalRahman: 💻Awesome video from Dieter highlighting the ways your Android phone & Googlebook work seamlessly together! My favorite thing about this integration is the creative things you can do with Magic Pointer using your phone's files. Take a photo from your phone, open it on your Googlebook, and add other images/links/text to your prompt. I used this to quickly help me visualize what some new posters would look like on a wall in my apartment.
