The call anonymously they don’t just represent a nuisance for users, constantly targeted by numbers spambetween call centers and other “digital harassers”, but they could also represent a safety hazard and the security of your personal data.
Generally, when you receive an unknown call it is always best to avoid answering, however, some services (such as i couriers for shipments or him medical studies) could contact the user via specially hidden numbers which, obviously, do not represent a threat.
At the moment, however, recognizing them is not possible and the user can do nothing but respond and hope for the best. To solve the problem comes Googlewith a new feature for identify anonymous numbers and secure the user and their privacy. Let’s find out more.
How the Google service works
According to the first information available, Big G will make this service available to users for identify unknown numbers and understand where the call is coming from even if you decide not to answer.
Naturally, the matter is not as immediate as it seems and, first of all, it will concern (at least initially) only people who are in possession of a recent model of Google Pixel.
In short, when you receive a call, the device will allow you to trace who tried to call simply by using the Search button. It’s not yet clear what kind of information will be available or whether the tech giant will simply identify an anonymous call as spam, but it’s certainly good news that could avoid a lot of hassle.
At the moment, however, there isn’t one yet official release date of this function, just as there is no information yet on its possible arrival on smartphones from other manufacturers but, in any case, with an operating system Android.
With good chances, the feature will come to everyonebut to find out more we will have to wait for the official release by the Mountain View company, when all the relevant information will be communicated to users.
What changes for users
As already mentioned, with the arrival of this new service users will not only be able to save themselves the hassle of receive spam callsbut they will also be able to protect themselves from possible scams.
It is not uncommon, in fact, to receive calls from unknown numbers which with a simple answer could completely empty the credit on SIM.
Apart from this, the new feature could also save users from Phishing attemptsidentifying and preventively blocking all those malicious people who try to extort users’ sensitive data through deception.
Recognizing anonymous numbers, therefore, could be a turning point for everyone, allowing users to sleep peacefully and no longer fear the worst every time they answer the phone.
