What's New with Scam Detection?
Scam Detection is a feature that notifies users about potential scams. It was introduced with the Pixel 9 series and is currently available on various Pixel phones.
Expanding to Non-Pixel Phones?
There are indications that Google is working to bring Scam Detection to the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, potentially making them the first non-Pixel phones to get this feature.
How Will It Work on Galaxy S26 Series?
The Google Phone app is required for Scam Detection to work. However, Samsung Galaxy phones do not come with the Google Phone app pre-installed. Users can download it from the Play Store, but it's unclear if it will have the necessary permissions to function as intended.
What's Next?
Neither Google nor Samsung has announced this feature or change. We will keep you updated as we learn more about Scam Detection on non-Pixel phones.
