So far, for spam detection, it has relied on user reports and blacklists; however, the new feature will analyze call patterns, voice characteristics, and other factors, all in real-time, to identify potential scams. Users can expect alerts during suspicious calls and quickly take action. Users can also manually report scam calls, helping Google to refine its AI model.

If successful, Google’s AI-powered scam detection could set new standards for call protection on mobile phones.
