A scam shield for Android
Google is putting Gemini to work to warn Android users about scam attempts. When the system detects that a scammer is trying to message a user, it will surface an alert.
Banking protection during screen sharing
The new feature goes beyond messages. While a user shares their screen, banking details will be shielded from prying eyes, keeping sensitive financial data from being exposed during a call.
Why it matters
Scam attempts are a common problem on mobile devices. Google's move turns AI from a passive assistant into an everyday security layer. The company has not yet shared details on when the feature will arrive or which devices will get it first.
