Google has announced a new feature for its Phone app designed to help users avoid AI impersonation scams. This feature will flag calls that appear to come from a contact's number but are actually from a scammer. The update aims to address the growing threat of impersonation scams, which the FBI reported resulted in Americans losing over $893 million in 2025 due to AI-related scams. Scammers typically spoof a contact's number and use AI technology to mimic their voice.
