Google is planning to introduce a new feature to protect Android users from scam calls. The 'Verified caller' feature will verify the authenticity of incoming calls by checking them against a database of official numbers that should not be making outgoing calls. This is particularly useful in tackling misuse of DNO numbers, which are official numbers used by banks or government agencies that are only meant to receive calls. The feature will work with apps already installed on the phone, such as banking apps, to identify suspicious calls. Once rolled out, this safety feature is expected to save millions of Android users from rising telephone scams. The feature is being developed as part of Google Play Services, making it widely available across Android devices.
