Enhanced Call Security To Protect Users

Google has unveiled an innovative fake call detection feature aimed at thwarting sophisticated deepfake impersonation scams. Targeting Android 12+ devices, this new measure is set to safeguard users by automatically validating incoming calls through a secure, behind-the-scenes verification process.

Digital Handshake Authentication In Action

Built into the Phone by Google app, now available on Pixel devices and beyond, the feature operates like a digital handshake between devices. When a verified contact places a call, a silent confirmation signal is exchanged. Absence of this signal triggers an immediate alert, advising the recipient to disconnect the call.

Broad Impact Across The Android Ecosystem

This development coincides with a suite of upgrades across the Android platform. Google Photos introduces a wardrobe feature that lets users virtually mix and match outfits, while Google Play Books debuts a “Catch Me Up” functionality to help readers seamlessly resume their favorite stories. Furthermore, Android 14+ devices now benefit from enhanced outfit searches via the updated Circle to Search feature, underscoring the company’s commitment to a robust, interconnected digital experience.

Strengthening Trust In Mobile Communications

By integrating this advanced authentication protocol, Google reinforces its position as a leader in mobile security innovation. The use of Rich Communication Services (RCS) underlines the potential for broader industry adoption, paving the way for more secure communication channels. In an era where AI-driven scams are evolving rapidly, such proactive measures are indispensable for protecting users from emerging threats.

A New Twitter-Inspired Social Network Is Taking Shape

August 27, 2026

A new social network called Twitter.now is entering the market, with a founding team that includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. The service is being developed by startup Operation Bluebird.

As Ars Technica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to block the launch. Operation Bluebird argued in a petition that X had abandoned trademarks including “Twitter” and “Tweet.”

Coates has said the project is not an attempt to recreate the original Twitter. In a LinkedIn post, he described the platform as a new public space focused on trust, transparency and user choice.

AI System To Rate Posts

Twitter.now is currently being tested, with early access priced at $20. Its main feature is VERA, an AI system designed to evaluate posts, verify claims and provide sources and context.

Posts receive a trust score, with users eventually able to set a minimum score to filter their feeds. The company says this approach will give people more control over what they see instead of leaving those decisions entirely to an algorithm.

Moderation Remains A Challenge

Scaling moderation will be one of the platform’s biggest tests. Social networks have repeatedly struggled with content moderation as their communities grow, and newer platforms such as Bluesky have faced similar criticism.

Operation Bluebird says VERA will form the basis of its moderation and verification system. A second version is already planned, with expanded tools that would let users set a specific trust threshold for the posts appearing in their feeds.

For now, Twitter.now remains in an early testing phase, combining the familiarity of the Twitter name with an AI-driven approach to evaluating online information.
