Google introduces feature to identify scam calls
Google has introduced a new feature on Android devices to detect fake calls, aiming to protect users from number spoofing attempts using voice synthesis technology and artificial intelligence. The feature relies on "Digital Handshake," where the device verifies the caller's source through a silent, encrypted confirmation signal using RCS. If this signal doesn’t match the actual caller, a warning appears indicating a potential identity theft and prompting the user to end the call. The feature requires Android 12 or later, and the activation of the Phone by Google, Contacts, and Google Messages apps, with both parties using the same Phone app to ensure proper functionality. This feature helps reduce scam calls involving spoofed numbers but requires specific settings and compatibility, and it does not cover all types of suspicious calls, especially those needing additional verification.
