Google announced in the latest May 2026 “Google System Release Notes“—which summarize updates for enhancing the security and reliability of Android devices, published on Monday, May 11, 2026—the introduction of a feature to forcibly terminate scam calls impersonating banks.
While existing Android anti-fraud measures include “Spam protection” in the Google Phone app, these currently only provide alerts during incoming or active calls suspected of being fraudulent, without features to automatically end the call. The newly introduced functionality will now automatically terminate calls identified as scams impersonating legitimate banks.
Specific details regarding how this scam-call termination feature functions remain undisclosed, but it is expected to be integrated as part of the broader Android anti-fraud system rather than a feature specific to the Google Phone app. This feature will be rolled out starting with Google Play Services for Android, version 26.18 or higher.
