Google reportedly building Android Verified Caller to spot fake calls
Google is reportedly building a new Verified Caller feature for Android that aims to make scam calls way less of a headache.
This tool could check incoming calls against a list of Do Not Originate (DNO) numbers (basically, numbers that legitimate companies use only to receive calls, not make them).
Scammers often fake these numbers to look official, but with Verified Caller built right into Android, your phone can spot the fakes before you even pick up.

No extra apps needed: this is baked straight into the system for smoother protection.
By flagging suspicious calls before they reach you, Google hopes it'll be way easier to tell what's real and what's sketchy.
The feature's still in development but could help millions avoid falling for phone scams once it launches.
