Google's new AI helps Pixel users dodge scam calls

Technology Nov 20, 2025

Google just dropped a smart scam detection feature for Pixel phones in India.
Announced at the "Safe and Trusted AI" event, this tool uses Gemini Nano AI to spot shady calls from unknown numbers and gives you a heads-up if something seems off.

Privacy-first security and more ways to stay safe

The scam detector runs fully on your device—so your call info stays private.
It's off by default, but you can turn it on anytime.
Plus, Pixel now warns you if you're screen-sharing financial apps like Google Pay while speaking to an unknown caller, helping you avoid real-time scams.
Google's also working on a new phone number verification system to replace SMS OTPs and keep your accounts safer from fraud.
