Google Messages has over a billion daily users and prioritizes security with powerful on-device filters and advanced security that protects users from 2 billion suspicious messages a month. The app offers end-to-end encrypted RCS conversations for private communication with other Google Messages RCS users. As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Google is introducing five new protections to enhance user safety. These protections include enhanced detection of package delivery and job scams, intelligent warnings about potentially dangerous links, controls to turn off messages from unknown international senders, Sensitive Content Warnings for images that may contain nudity, and a contact verifying feature to confirm the identity of message recipients. The enhanced scam detection feature uses on-device machine learning models to classify scams and will be rolled out to Google Messages beta users who have spam protection enabled. Intelligent warnings about potentially dangerous links will be expanded globally later this year. The Sensitive Content Warnings feature is optional and blurs images that may contain nudity before viewing, providing users with control over seeing and sending such images. This feature will be rolled out to Android 9+ devices in the coming months. The contact verifying feature will be launched next year for Android 9+ devices, allowing users to verify their contacts' public keys and confirm the identity of message recipients.
