Google's new feature will alert you to spam calls in real time

With the rise in spam calls, Google is introducing a new feature for Pixel smartphones to help users identify potential scams. This feature was first shown at Google I/O 2024 in May and is designed to detect scam calls in real-time. By default, Scam Detection is turned off, so you’ll need to enable it yourself through the Phone app settings, and you can also turn it off if you prefer. To activate it, go to your Google Phone app settings and look for Scam Detection.
