Google’s Phone app will tell you if a scammer is impersonating one of your contacts

TL;DR

Google's Phone app will flag suspicious calls that mimic a contact's number to protect against AI impersonation scams.
Scammers use AI to imitate familiar voices and spoof contact numbers, leading to significant financial losses.
The feature requires both the user and the contact to use Phone by Google and sends a silent confirmation signal to verify legitimacy.
