As AI-powered voice scams become increasingly convincing, Google is introducing a new Android feature designed to verify whether a caller is genuinely who they claim to be. The fake call detecting tool aims to combat deepfake impersonation fraud by checking if a call is actually coming from a trusted contact\u2019s device.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Imagine receiving a phone call from your mother. The caller ID says \u201cMum\u201d, the voice sounds exactly like hers, and she urgently asks you to transfer money because of an emergency. Except it isn\u2019t your mother at all.<\/p>\n

That scenario is becoming increasingly plausible as cybercriminals turn to artificial intelligence tools capable of cloning voices and impersonating trusted contacts. Recognising the growing threat, Google has unveiled a new Android security feature designed to identify these scams before users fall victim to them.<\/p>\n

Announced on Tuesday, the company\u2019s new fake call detection system is aimed at tackling AI-powered impersonation fraud, a category of scams that has expanded rapidly as voice cloning technology becomes more accessible and convincing.<\/p>\n

The feature will be enabled by default and work automatically in the background, requiring no manual setup from users.<\/p>\n

The idea behind the new system is relatively simple: verify that the person calling you is actually using the device they claim to be calling from.<\/p>\n

Google describes the technology as a kind of digital verification process between smartphones. When someone in your contacts places a call and both parties are using Phone by Google, the caller\u2019s device sends a secure confirmation signal alongside the call.<\/p>\n

Your phone then checks for that signal before treating the call as trustworthy.<\/p>\n

If a fraudster attempts to impersonate a known contact by spoofing a phone number and using AI-generated audio, that verification signal will not be present. In such situations, Google\u2019s system performs an additional check with the legitimate device associated with…<\/p>\n
