Google has updated its Phone app with much needed spam protection. The Phone app which is present on Nexus and Android One devices will now identify and alert users about spam callers.

Nexus and Android One device owners will have to enable the Caller ID on their devices following which, the Phone app will warn you about potential spam callers and let you block and report these numbers as spammers. When you get a spam caller on your phone, the incoming call will be displayed in red along with a messages like “suspected spam caller” or “spam” on their devices’ screen. In case of an incoming call from a regular caller, the screen color is blue.

You can find out how to turn on spam protection once you have the update on the Google Nexus support page here .
