Google phone app updated with a great feature, now it will warn if spam callers calls you. The new warning feature comes with existing caller ID capability of the phone app. It maintains a directory of various departments and businesses, when you receive a call from that directory, then the colour of the screen will change in to red colour and it will warn that the number is belongs to a ‘suspected spam caller’.
The Google phone app will also allow you to block the number and report the number as a spammer. If you accidentally marked or reported a number as a spammer, don’t worry it can be edited by tapping on the call in call logs and choose Not Spam. But the registered (telecallers) numbers will not be blocked.
