Google has announced a number of security features in its messaging app. The application will use machine learning models on the device for this purpose.
Special attention will be paid to fraud related to parcel delivery and job offers. If suspicious messages are detected, they will be moved to the Spam folder. This feature is already available for users of the beta version of the app.
Google also plans to introduce intelligent warnings, a feature that has been in the pilot stage for some time. This tool will warn users when they receive links from an unknown sender and automatically block them.
The updated security tools also have new warnings about sensitive content and automatically blur images of sexual content. This feature will be optional and should be available in the next few months.
In addition to the aforementioned tools, Google says it is currently working on a contact verification feature for Android. This should help put an end to scammers trying to impersonate one of your contacts. The company said that this feature will be available in 2025.
