Google has launched a new security feature for Android devices, designed to combat AI-powered voice impersonation scams. The tool, integrated into the Phone by Google app, works by verifying if a call is legitimate through a silent handshake process between devices using Rich Communication Services (RCS). If an incoming call is identified as a potential deepfake impersonation of a contact, the system alerts the user to hang up immediately. The feature is rolling out to Android 12+ devices, starting with Pixel phones.
