The AI-based features are rolling out to Pixel 6 or newer first but will soon be expanded to other Android devices, Google says.

Scammers steal nearly $1 trillion annually, and most of it is through phone call fraud. With scammers becoming more sophisticated and harder to identify, Google's new Scam Detection will scan phone calls in real-time to protect users from fraud before it can occur.

One of the Gemini AI-powered features Google introduced at I/O this year was a solution for never-ending scam calls. It has the capability to detect whether a call is suspicious while it's still ongoing and can alert you so that you could drop the call as soon as possible.

Google has started rolling out Live Scam Detection to the Pixel Phone app, while an upgraded version of the Play Protect system will help detect and report any scammy Google Play apps in real time. However only the latter will be making its way to non Pixel phones, as far as we know.

Google is rolling out a new Scam Detection feature to its Pixel devices that uses on-device AI models to identify potential scam calls.

Google has announced two new real-time security privacy protections for Android, and they're rolling out now on supported Pixel devices.
