I want Google’s new scam detection in all of Android, not just during calls
Scams don't just happen during phone calls, so why not build system-wide detection for them?

About once a week, I receive a message from my parents, my aunt, or some relative with a screenshot of what is to me some obvious spam or scam. To them, there’s always a question mark. Could this be real? Is someone really giving away $1000 to every person who clicks that link? So they ask me before clicking on the link or answering the message.
So yes, I am a living, breathing spam and scam detection system for my loved ones. Don’t get me wrong; I’m really glad they’re smart enough to be suspicious and ask someone who knows instead of just giving in to what the hordes of online scammers are luring them to do. I’m also proud of teaching and showing them enough examples in the past that they now know when to question the validity of something fishy.
