Google today said it is updating the Google Phone app on Nexus and Android One devices with a new spam-blocking tool.
With the new app aboard, Nexus devices will warn owners about potential spam callers, as well as give them the ability to block or report suspected spam callers. Google says Nexus and Android One device owners will need to enable Caller ID in order to enjoy the new spam protection.
The Google Phone app is free to Nexus and Android One devices and will be updated automatically by Google over the days ahead.
Google’s new app arrives just days after the FCC asked phone carriers to step up efforts to block robocalls.
