The feature is designed to identify suspected spoofed calls from known contacts.<\/p>\n<p>The rollout begins globally on devices running Android 12 and later, starting with Pixel handsets. Samsung devices will receive the feature natively at a later stage.<\/p>\n<p>The launch comes as phone scams continue to rise, with impersonation fraud becoming a major source of losses for consumers and businesses. Google cited INTERPOL&#8217;s Global Financial Fraud Threat Assessment, which described impersonation fraud as a leading contributor to more than USD $400 billion in global losses, as well as US Federal Trade Commission data showing USD $2.95 billion in losses from impersonation scams in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Caller ID has long served as a basic signal of trust, but spoofing tools have made it easier for scammers to make calls appear to come from a familiar number. The problem has become more acute as AI voice tools enable fraudsters to imitate family members, employers, or officials with increasing realism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new system is enabled by default and runs in the background. When a saved contact calls, the caller&#8217;s device sends a silent verification signal to the recipient&#8217;s phone to confirm that the call is genuinely coming from that contact&#8217;s device.<\/p>\n<p>If that verification does not arrive or cannot be recognised, the call is flagged as a possible impersonation attempt. The recipient then sees an on-screen warning advising them to hang up.<\/p>\n<p>The process is built on Rich Communication Services, or RCS, and uses end-to-end encryption. Verification happens directly between devices, and no third party, including Google, can view it.<\/p>\n<p>Users can turn the feature off in the dialler settings if they do not want it enabled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Open&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/securitybrief.asia\/story\/google-rolls-out-fake-call-detection-on-android-phones\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google rolls out fake call detection on Android phones https:\/\/securitybrief.asia\/story\/google-rolls-out-fake-call-detection-on-android-phones Publish Date: 2026-06-05 07:49:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":264838,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/securitybrief.asia\/uploads\/story\/2026\/06\/05\/compatible_email_attachment20260605-1260289-nddr70.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,86],"class_list":["post-264835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264835"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=264835"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264835\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":264840,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/264835\/revisions\/264840"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/264838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=264835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=264835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=264835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
