Google introduces ‘Verified Calls’ to protect people from scammers

San Francisco: In a bid to make people safe from spam and scam calls, Google has announced a new feature named Verified Calls on its Phone app. It comes pre-loaded on several Android phones and will be available for download later this week on more Android devices in select countries, including India.

The ‘Verified Calls’ shows the caller’s name, logo, reason for calling and a verification symbol indicating that the business has been authenticated by Google.
