Posted by Eric Lynch, Senior Product Manager, Android Security, and Sherif Hanna, Group Product Manager, Google C2PA Core At Made by Google 2025, we announced that the new Google Pixel 10 phones will support C2PA Content Credentials in Pixel Camera and Google Photos . This announcement represents a series of steps towards greater digital media transparency: The Pixel 10 lineup is the first to have Content Credentials built in across every photo created by Pixel Camera. The Pixel Camera app achieved Assurance Level 2 , the highest security rating currently defined by the C2PA Conformance Program. Assurance Level 2 for a mobile app is currently only possible on the Android platform .

The ability to verify the source and history—or provenance—of digital content is more important than ever.

A New Approach to Content Credentials Generative AI can help us all to be more creative, productive, and innovative.

These capabilities are powered by Google Tensor G5 , Titan M2 security chip, the advanced hardware-backed security features of the Android platform, and Pixel engineering expertise. In this post, we’ll break down our architectural blueprint for bringing a new level of trust to digital media, and how developers can apply this model to their own apps on Android. But it can be hard to tell the difference between content that’s been AI-generated, and content created without AI.
