Telephone spam can become really tedious And in some parts of the planet, services such as Truecaller, a European startup that tries to identify calls thanks to the large database it has, are very successful, as is the case in India, a country ravaged by this form of invasive advertising that is forget the rights of citizens.
Well now it is also Google that wants get tough on phone spam to update the call app on the Nexus and Android One that will now have the ability to identify spam calls. A novelty that joins that of 2013 in which it received an interesting update that allowed the ID for incoming calls from businesses as part of the launch of Android Kitkat.
But it is at this time that she is getting more serious with this issue for the recognition of spam, although this functionality will be limited for users who have a Nexus device or an Android One.
As I mentioned above, Truecaller It is one of the services that tries to alleviate this great global problem by offering a large database that is updated with the users' own data in order to identify the sources of telephone numbers that use spam.
Google has said that this new feature will allow users block and report numbers phone numbers related to spam, which indicates that the company will use the data from users to recognize the sources of these types of calls, although its dialer app does not have the same characteristics as Truecaller. In any case, it is a great measure to alleviate this serious problem a bit in order to detect spam and prevent the user from being faced with this type of invasive advertising.
The funny thing is that Apple too is including this feature in its imminent iOS 10.
