Following the announcement on Wednesday, the new real-time Scam Detection is rolling out to the Phone by Google app beta on Pixel.
Not sure what the real difference or benefit is here, but my phone app (google, but not pixel) already labels calls as “likely fraud” or “likely spam”.
You would have to answer the call for this to be useful, no?
what are they scanning, your conversation?
I imagine they have a MASSIVE database of numbers that make calls in certain patterns. If a new number makes 10,000 calls that had been dormant, it gets flagged.
I will only be impressed when Google forwards said scam caller to AI Alzheimer’s Granny and wastes all their time. Only then will I applaud. It is past time to fight back.
Stop wasting time on useless features, Google, and give us back call recording.
Another way to track you
