Google’s suite of scam detection features is great at filtering out suspicious messages and calls before you fall for them. The tech giant has been steadily improving the collection and rolling it out to more users, though that’s also the big catch here. Not all scam detection features are available on every Android phone. Newer developments, like enhanced protection mode in Google Messages, are available on even fewer devices. With the company announcing new tools, it’s worth revisiting an existing one that’s available to a much wider range of users and devices.
Google is highlighting that scam detection is available via Circle to Search (CtS), giving a larger subset of users who don’t have scam detection natively access to preventive tools that can help them avoid falling victim to fraud.
