- Google has introduced a new Android feature called “Fake Call Detection” to identify and alert users about suspected impersonation or fraudulent calls in real time.
- The tool uses encrypted verification technology to confirm the authenticity of a caller and warns users of potential spoofed numbers or fraudulent calls.
- This feature is being rolled out on Android 12 and newer devices to combat rising AI-powered voice cloning and impersonation scams.
- The detection process is enabled by default on devices running Android 12 and later, starting with Pixel smartphones, without requiring any user adjustments.
- Google’s Fake Call Detection employs Rich Communication Services (RCS) for an end-to-end encrypted verification process to ensure secure communication and protect against external access.
