Google continues to strengthen the security of its users, introducing a new fraud protection feature (anti-fraud) through its phone application
This is a significant upgrade that aims to reduce telephone scams, which have increased significantly in recent years.
How the new Antifrode (Anti-Fraud) protection works
The new feature is integrated into Google's phone app and uses artificial intelligence technologies to detect suspicious behavior during a call.
More specifically:
- Analyzes conversation in real time for patterns related to fraud
- Detects suspicious requests, such as requests for personal data or financial information
- Notifies the user immediately with an on-screen warning
This function is based on on-device processing , meaning all data remains on the device and is not sent to servers, enhancing privacy.
What devices is it available on?
The new antifraud protection not currently available on all Android smartphonesAccording to the information it works mainly on devices Google Pixel and is supported by newer models (e.g. Pixel 6 and above), as in the latest devices it leverages AI such as Gemini Nano.
This means that the feature is currently limited, but will likely expand to more devices in the future.
How does it protect the user?
Antifraud protection works like a "smart guard" during calls:
- Displays alerts when a call is considered suspicious
- Provides options to end the call immediately
- Allows the user to ignore or confirm that it is not a scam
However, it is worth noting that no technology is 100% foolproof and users must remain cautious.
One of the most important elements of the new feature is the emphasis on privacy, as no conversations are stored and no data is sent to Google because the analysis is done locally on the device. This is a significant advantage over other cloud-based security solutions.
In conclusion, Google's new antifraud protection in the phone app is a significant step towards combating phone scams. With the help of AI and local data processing, it offers an extra layer of security without sacrificing privacy.
