#Android Gets Fake Call Detection That Uses #RCS

#Phone by #Google wants to combat the "growing threat of #impersonation #scams " and protect Android users against "sophisticated, AI-powered #deepfake attacks" with fake call detection. [...] Fake call detection requires that both parties are on Android and use the Phone by Google app, while #GoogleMessages and #GoogleContacts also have to be installed. When a contact calls, their phone "sends a silent confirmation signal in real time to your device to verify the call is legitimate and truly coming from the contact's device." This digital handshake uses end-to-end #encrypted RCS (Rich Communication Services).
