Google will warn you about this new feature in case it detects that someone is trying to defraud you via a phone call

Phone spam has become a real problem. Various leaks of our data have left this information accessible to cybercriminals, who do not stop harassing us with fraudulent calls. Fortunately, Google will take action on this issue, using artificial intelligence to remove these annoying calls from our lives.

In addition, we're talking about a feature that the Mountain View giant just launched on the Google Pixel family of phones. Right now in the United States, but it won't take long to reach other countries.

A complete anti-spam filter that will protect us in real time from potentially fraudulent calls, thanks to an artificial intelligence integration with which this type of spam can be detected over the phone.

- How Google's new spam filter works

Regarding the operation of this new call filter, it was introduced in Google I/O 2024 in May and began to be implemented in the edges of the Google Pixel 6 and beyond. In addition, it is currently only available in the United States, although it will soon arrive in other regions.

It is a system that uses artificial intelligence to detect fraud during voice calls. In the event that Google detects that someone is trying to defraud you over the phone, it will notify you in real time to warn you of phishing.

That way, if Google's new anti-fraud filter detects a suspicious call, the phone will start vibrating and beeping. When you see the screen, you will see that there is an alert on the mobile phone indicating that the call may be a scam.

So, imagine you're getting a call from your "bank," but it's actually an attempt to scamming my phone to spoofing a real phone number. Well, Google will warn you and save you a good headache.

As we told you, they just released the first beta in the US for Pixel 6 models and later. If you live in the country and want to try this job, just follow these steps:

- Open Settings on your Pixel phone

- Go to Caller ID and Spam

- Select Filter unwanted calls
