Android is getting an AI-powered scam call detection feature
Google says it’ll warn users of fraud-associated language in calls.
Some examples of what could trigger these alerts include calls from “bank representatives” who make requests that real banks are unlikely to make, such as asking for personal information like your passwords or card PINs, requesting payments via gift cards, or asking users to urgently transfer money to them. There’s no word on when the scam detection feature will be available, but Google says users will need to opt in to utilize it and that it’ll share more information “later this year.” While scam calls may seem easily detectable to some after years of awareness campaigns and accessible guidance on how to avoid them, there’s always a risk of getting caught out.
