Messaging should just be easy and stress-free for everyone, no matter what phone they have. That’s why we’ve focused on improving how people connect by making RCS the universal messaging standard across Android and iOS. The impact is huge: now, in the U.S. alone, over a billion RCS messages are sent every day. This means more people are effortlessly sharing high-quality photos and videos and adding friends to group chats without the conversation breaking. We're really proud to help make these kinds of seamless, modern connections a reality for everyone.

Protecting users from scams is a super practical application of AI. Android’s AI-powered Scam Detection in Google Messages does just that Each month, this tech protects users from 2 billion suspicious messages with all of our advanced security. Now, Scam Detection is even smarter and better at spotting new text scam types — like toll road, crypto, gift card, and more. All of this happens with on-device AI – so your conversations are private to you. Android is leading the charge against spam and scams. If you want less of the bad stuff, it might just be the perfect time to try out Android. Check out our blog to learn more: blog.google/products/android…

Fun conversation with @robleedham on the latest Gemini Live on Android. Video and screen sharing with Gemini is super useful and pretty fun to use! He also had some feedback on my fashion choices 😅 It's GQ, so I guess that's fair. gq-magazine.co.uk/article/sa…

Thank you, Google and Rebble! I can't stress how thankful I am to @pebble_dev (Rebble.io) and Google, in general and to a few Googlers specifically, for putting in tremendous effort over the last year to make this happen. You've helped keep the dream alive by making it possible for anyone to use, fork and improve PebbleOS. The Rebble team has also done a ton of work over the years to continue supporting Pebble software, appstore and community. Thank you!
Gemini integrated with these new form factors really changes the experience! Glad you got a taste of what's to come.
NEW VIDEO - I Tried Samsung's Secret Android XR Headset, and it was awesome. Think of it as the Nexus/Pixel of headsets. Full of smart software features like this. Coming this year. Full video: piped.video/az5QL_NLBvg

Our partnership with @SamsungMobile on Android XR has been really special. It builds on our collaboration on WearOS where we worked together as one team. This time we worked together on the software *and* hardware.

Huge congrats to @McLarenF1 on being world champions! It's been amazing to be a long for the ride since we started our partnership years ago with @Android. Amazing accomplishment @LandoNorris @OscarPiastri, @ZBrownCEO and the whole team. I still love how I get text msgs giving me credit for McLaren's rise because of the "tough" talk I had with Zak on this last seaon of Netflix's Drive to Surive. 😂🤣
