Google Introduces New Safety Layer to Identify Fake Bank and Scam Messages
Google Circle to Search Feature: Amidst the increasing cases of online fraud, Google has made Circle to Search even smarter for Android users. Now, without clicking on a link in a suspicious message, you can determine whether it's a scam or not. Learn how this feature works.
Online fraudsters never tire of adopting new tricks, with text message tricks remaining their favorites. At other times, it could be an alert from the bank, or it could be an online fraudster threatening to block an account. These messages always send victims into a state of fear and send them doing things that are completely wrong. Google has recently introduced an important safety update to its ‘Circle to Search’ feature on Android.
Earlier, scam messages used to be easily recognized by the use of abusive words or weird links. However, the new messages are so technically and professionally designed that it is very hard to differentiate between actual and spoofed messages. That is why people who are very literate and careful become their prey.
The problem is addressed by Google with Circle to Search. The unique feature of this feature is that users don't have to click on any links or reply to messages; they simply examine the text displayed on the screen.
