    What happens when an authentic Android power user, visionary CEO, and neurodiversity advocate sits down with our team? Magic. 🪄 We loved welcoming Paris Hilton to her very own Sliv Lab Google to show exactly how Android is breaking down barriers to creativity. For too long, building software meant you had to be an engineer. Today, you just need a vision. Using Gemini on Android, Paris vibe-coded an incredible, ADHD-friendly organizational app right before our eyes. I am so inspired by this intersection of culture, tech, and female entrepreneurship.  Recently, together, we hosted the Android Innovation Challenge where future female leaders built helpful tools for their communities. The challenge winner built an app called "Bound" that helps girls walk home safely from school, share their location with their parents, and report hazards along the way. Head over to android.com/paris to get exclusive behind-the-scenes access, actually try out Paris’s ‘Iconic Ideas’ for yourself, and learn how our tools can help bring your own ideas to life! That's Android. That's hot. 🔥👩💻 #IconicAndroid #IconicAndroid #WomenInTech #Sliving

    I’m thrilled to announce my new partnership with Android! As a CEO, entrepreneur, creator, and mom, I’ve always loved technology that can keep up with real life. So when Google invited me to campus to collaborate as Android’s first-ever Icon-in-Residence, I was all in. We’re entering a new era of creation, where anyone can turn an idea into something real. Android is making technology more accessible, intuitive, and empowering, no engineering background required. They even built a custom “Sliv Lab” for me, where I used Gemini Canvas on Android to vibe-code my own app, Iconic Ideas.  As someone with ADHD, I wanted to create a highly visual, ADHD-friendly tool that helps turn mental chaos into clarity and action. But Iconic Ideas is just one example of what’s possible. With Android’s ecosystem of Gemini tools, your device can become a creative collaborator, helping you design solutions that fit your life, your workflow, and your imagination. I can’t wait to see what you build. Learn more, watch the full video, try my app, and start creating at Android.com/paris.

    Document scanning with your phone is a pain. There is an update to Google Drive on Android that makes this really simple. 📄 Smart Batch Scanning: Scan multiple pages at once, and the system automatically splits them into separate docs. 🚫 Duplicate Detection: Hovering over a page you already scanned? The system instantly catches it. 📸 Auto-Best Frame: Automatically swaps out blurry scans for the highest-quality frame available. 🔒 On-Device Processing: Super fast performance, offline availability, and total data privacy. A great example of AI being genuinely useful for people. Awesome work to the Android + Drive teams for making this happen. Rolling out to Android users now and works on Android devices with 8GB+ of memory.

    Last week, we announced our vision for Android to move from an operating system to an intelligence system. And today at #GoogleIO, we shared an exciting next step to bring this to life with a preview of Android Halo. In a world of agents, your device will increasingly take on complex, long-running tasks – whether it’s run directly on your device, in the cloud, or a mix of both. You may be planning a multi-city vacation, organizing a complex project or researching a topic. These tasks will take time to complete, and there may be instances where you have to interact with your agent to ask questions or confirm the actions it needs to take on your behalf. We’re designing Android Halo to be a space in Android’s UI where you can choose to keep tabs on those tasks. Halo can ask you for details to keep the task moving, track progress and notify you when it's done. Android Halo will officially launch later this year with an update to Android 17. It will work with Gemini Spark, and offer even more capability with Gemini Intelligence on our most advanced devices. And because Android is all about openness and choice, we’ll also have an API so it can work with whatever agent you choose. I can’t wait for you to try it!
