Google announces new security features for Android for protection against scam and theft

At the Android Show on Tuesday, ahead of Google I/O, Google announced new security and privacy features for Android. In order to protect users, Google is blocking some actions and warning users of a potential scam while they are on a call with someone not in their contact list. Google is adding screen-sharing protection as well by reminding users to stop sharing the screen after a call ends. This feature will be available for Google Messages later this summer for users running Android 10 or later versions. Google is adding new measures to bolster its Advanced Protection Mode to protect public figures with new on-device features.
