The tool uses on-device intelligence to analyse live call patterns and alert users to suspected fraud attempts without uploading or transcribing the conversation to the cloud. Google said the model was developed in partnership with fintech players including Google Play, Navi and Paytm, signalling a deeper integration of safety features into the financial ecosystem.
