- Fraudsters still do not give up and try to lure money from trusting people via mobile phone
- Google decided to reduce their chances of success and developed 2 new features
- It will gradually arrive on Android phones
Banks, police and mobile operators warn against fraudsters. And yet there are still enough credulous people who fall for their lies and let themselves be swindled out of money. So that this does not happen so often, the company also tries to contribute a little to the mill Google. And not just by repeating different types of warnings. They will help her much more effectively 2 new featureswhich can detect fraud immediately.
Protection against suspicious calls
The first feature that Google brings to mobiles is fraud call detection. It is based on artificial intelligencewhich evaluates the progress of the call and can detect whether it is a fraud. If it determines that it is, it will show the user in a red tinted warning window that it is probably a so-called scam.
You yourself can then choose whether to end the call or continue it (this is in case the AI makes a mistake or in your opinion it is not a fraud). The important thing is that this feature is in mobiles disabled by default and if you are interested, you have to activate it manually (or deactivate it again at any time afterwards).
Warning about untrusted applications
The second innovation that Google has prepared for the greater security of Android mobile users is feature enhancement detecting untrusted applications. This is protection Google Play Protectwhich can now detect threats in real time. As soon as a mobile application starts to behave suspiciously (for example, it requires special permissions), you will be notified immediately.
Likewise, Google Play Protect recognizes if an app is trying to access sensitive data and collects it. And since hackers are getting more and more inventive, Google promises to make even more improvements in this direction.
And when will these security updates also arrive on your Android mobile phone? That depends on what brand of phone you own. You can already find the recognition of dangerous applications on mobile phones Pixel 6 and later – will arrive on other devices in the coming months. So far, scam call detection is also available on the Pixel 6 and above, with Gemini Nano only on the Pixel 9.
