Google Voice rolls out spam text warnings

San Francisco: Google Voice has launched a new feature that provides suspected spam message warnings on both Android and iOS devices.

"If you're using Google Voice, you're familiar with our suspected spam caller warnings. We're extending this feature to SMS messages," Google said in a blogpost.

Users will now be alerted of the spam messages with a red exclamation sign appearing in the profile avatar spot and the message preview will also include the phrase "Suspected spam" in a matching colour for easy identification.

According to the company, the users will see these labels within the message, and they can either confirm a suspected spam message, which causes future messages from that number to go directly into the spam folder, or mark a labelled message as not spam, after which the suspected spam label is never displayed for that number again.

These spam text protections will be available for both free and paid Google Voice accounts (Starter, Standard, and Premier).

The feature is currently being rolled out and will be widely available in the coming weeks, the company said.

Meanwhile, Google has started to roll out an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered "Proofread" feature in Gborad for beta users.

The "Proofread" option appears in the keyboard's toolbar with Gboard version 13.4, allowing users to have their text checked for spelling or grammar errors on the fly, all powered by generative AI.
