Google Messages' new enhanced protection mode uses Gemini to catch scam texts. Here's what's coming.
Google announced new Android scam defenses on October 14, led by an opt-in enhanced protection mode in Google Messages.
For unknown senders, cloud Gemini models judge intent across the conversation, running on encrypted Private AI Compute.
On Pixel 10 and later, Galaxy S26, Z Flip 8 and Z Fold 8, Gemini Nano checks unfamiliar links before you tap.
Screen-share privacy hits Android 15 this month. Call-forwarding protection starts in early December on Pixel and select phones.
Enhanced mode rolls out in the coming weeks. Update Google Messages and never dial a * or # code a caller asks for.
