    Google expands Android in-call scam protection to U.S. financial apps

    Initial Disclosure

    Google expanded Android in-call scam protection to the United States for supported financial apps, including Cash App and the JPMorganChase mobile banking app, while the feature remained in testing on Android 11 and later. The protection warns users when they open a financial app while screen-sharing during a call from an unknown number, with a 30-second blocking prompt designed to interrupt impersonation scams that try to extract banking information or push a financial transfer. The rollout follows earlier trials in the U.K., Brazil, and India.
