Google is expanding its AI-powered Scam Detection capabilities across the Android ecosystem. Initial developments indicated the feature, which uses on-device artificial intelligence to identify fraudulent call patterns in real time, was being extended to manufacturers beyond Pixel and Samsung, including Xiaomi and potentially Vivo.

Following these expansions, Google released its September 2026 Pixel Feature Drop for Pixel 6 and newer devices. This update specifically expanded Scam Detection in Messages to support seven languages, including English, Portuguese, German, Spanish, Arabic, French, and Japanese. The rollout covers multiple global regions, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, India, Germany, Mexico, Japan, and France. In Canada, the feature utilizes notifications to flag suspicious chats with a ‘Likely scam’ warning, while in the US, warnings are integrated into Gboard during message responses.
