As far as I call tell this is fake. The font for the title is called Nunito, which isn't one used by Google for their UI. Could imagine it as real quite soon tho.

Thank you, I appreciate you checking this (also hats off for the font identification)

Let's not spread fake outrage, we are not yet at a point where this is real, but you can expect this image will spread like wildfire anywhere that folks are concerned about this kind of thing, and it its just going to increase people's anxiety over something that isnt real

It was a total fluke, I'm not like some genious 😅 A few years ago I used nunito for a website I made so my brain lit up like a christmas tree when I saw it

Lol, thats fair, you still get credit! I used to love Google's design work (durring the early material design days) so I was once familiar with their fonts and stuff, and it's cool for you to have been able to catch that by the font

Hope you have a good one ☺️

Unfortunately I can verify this is real. This is now required for people who use google voice - you will get a pop up saying it's required for calling and messaging
