Why Android users are seeing fewer scam calls and texts
Google says Android is doing a better job than iPhones at blocking scam calls and texts, with built-in tools that help keep more bad messages and calls away from users.
Who is at risk
Anyone who uses a smartphone is at risk, especially people who regularly receive calls or texts from unknown numbers.
What to watch for
Watch for unexpected calls or messages that pressure you to act fast, click a link, share personal information, install something, or change settings on your phone.
What to do
Check that your phone’s built-in call and message filtering features are turned on, keep your device updated, and avoid responding to suspicious calls or texts.
