Google is updating its Phone app to flag suspicious calls that use AI to impersonate your saved contacts.Summary
Google is introducing a new security feature in its Phone app designed to combat AI-powered impersonation scams. When a scammer spoofs the number of a saved contact, the app will display a warning notifying the user that the caller may be an imposter. The system works by exchanging a silent confirmation signal between devices using Google’s end-to-end encrypted RCS technology. This feature is being rolled out by default for users on Android 12 and later, starting with Pixel devices, to help mitigate the growing financial threat of AI voice-spoofing scams.
