Safer with Google: New intelligent, real-time protections on Android to keep you safe
Google is introducing two new real-time protection features to enhance user safety while safeguarding privacy. Scam Detection in Phone by Google uses AI to identify and stop scams before they can do harm, and it's available first on Pixel devices. The feature is off by default and can be activated for future calls, ensuring user privacy and control over data. Google Play Protect also offers live threat detection with real-time alerts to protect users from malware and unsafe apps, focusing on stalkerware and potentially expanding to other harmful apps in the future. These features are designed to protect users without collecting data and are currently available on Pixel 6+ devices, with plans to expand to other Android devices soon.
