Android phones will soon be able to detect spoofed calls and impersonation scams

# Google Adding New Protection Against Fake Voice Scams on Android Phones Google is rolling out a new Android feature that can warn you when someone is impersonating a contact through a spoofed phone number and deepfake voice technology—scams that cost Americans nearly $3 billion in 2024. The system works by verifying whether incoming calls are actually coming from the real people in your contacts, protecting you against criminals who use AI to clone voices and trick you into sending money. If you use Google's default phone app, you'll get these alerts automatically when suspicious calls come through.
