Further expansion was confirmed with the “Phone by Google” app update (version v204.0.852029473-publicbeta-pixel) released around Thursday, January 8, 2026. This update brings the feature to the “Pixel 10 Pro Fold,” a foldable Google Pixel device that had not been supported until now.

As a reminder, “Scam Detection” is a feature for Google Pixel devices from the Pixel 9 series onwards (excluding the Pixel 9a). At this stage, it is likely a rollout limited to those participating in the “Beta Tester” program.

“Scam Detection” (Fraud Detection) is an AI-powered feature that detects potentially malicious calls, such as scams, and notifies the user while the call is in progress. Since “Scam Detection” does not include a recording function, it is recommended to use it alongside “Call Notes,” the call recording feature.
