The feature uses the Gemini Nano model to analyze real-time call content and issue warnings if you identify any unusual signs. This processing does not record, does not send data to the server, and only activates when the call comes from an unknown number. Participants are notified in secret throughout the call to ensure transparency.
However, the support is limited as the feature only works on the Pixel 9 series and only serves English-speaking users in India. Pixel is barely significant in terms of market share in this country, so the implementation is experimental. Google said it wants to port the technology to other Android devices, but has not given a specific time.
In parallel, the company also cooperates with Navi, Paytm and Google Pay to test warnings when users share screens while calling. This is a situation that is often taken advantage of by scammers to take over OTP or pin code. Android 11 or later devices can receive notifications and stop sharing the screen with just one operation.
Google has confirmed that it will expand cooperation with many financial applications in the coming time, while adding warnings in local languages.
