User safety is at the heart of everything we do at Google. Our mission to make technology helpful for everyone means building features that protect you while keeping your privacy top of mind. From Gmail’s defenses that stop more than 99.9% of spam, phishing and malware, to Google Messages’ advanced security that protects users from 2 billion suspicious messages a month and beyond, we’re constantly developing and expanding protection features that help keep you safe.
We’re introducing two new real-time protection features that enhance your safety, all while safeguarding your privacy: Scam Detection in Phone by Google to protect you from scams and fraud, and Google Play Protect live threat detection with real-time alerts to protect you from malware and dangerous apps.
These new security features are available first on Pixel, and are coming soon to more Android devices.
More intelligent AI-powered protection against scams
Scammers steal over $1 trillion dollars a year from people, and phone calls are their favorite way to do it. Even more alarming, scam calls are evolving, becoming increasingly more sophisticated, damaging and harder to identify. That’s why we’re using the best of Google AI to identify and stop scams before they can do harm with Scam Detection.
