Google’s Pixel Scam Detection feature might have been delayed

These days, receiving scam and spam calls is pretty common. In fact, it’s actually a little worrying that it’s so common. However, last year, Google announced a new tool called Pixel Scam Detection that was supposed to help. According to Google’s blog post, Pixel Scam Detection was supposed to launch in March, but now it might have been delayed.

Google hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but according to Android Authority, they noticed that any mention or reference to the feature on the blog post has been removed. It stands to reason that Google removed it because the feature is delayed, and the company doesn’t want its blog post to mislead users.

We’re not sure why the feature has been delayed, but maybe it’s not quite ready for the public as we previously thought. Google had released the feature as a beta last November, so maybe the company is still testing it.

For those unfamiliar, Pixel Scam Detection is a feature which uses on-device AI to analyze calls so that it can alert users in real-time if they might be looking at a possible scam. It’s actually a pretty cool and useful feature. Hopefully Google won’t take too long to sort it out and we’ll see its release in the next update.
