On November 20, 2025, Google announced the launch of two AI anti-fraud features in the Indian market: one is "Real-time Call Fraud Detection" based on Gemini Nano, and the other is "Screen Sharing Alert" in collaboration with Navi, Paytm, and Google Pay. The former is available only for Pixel 9 and later models, which analyzes unknown incoming call voice characteristics at the system level, runs entirely locally without recording or uploading to the cloud; the latter applies to Android 11+ devices, and when users open the above financial apps while sharing their screen during a call, the system automatically pops up a banner with one-click "End Call + Stop Sharing" to reduce the risk of stealing OTP or PIN.
According to official data, there were 13,516 cases of digital transaction fraud in India in 2024, resulting in losses of about 5.2 billion rupees; in the first five months of 2025, online fraud losses reached about 70 billion rupees. Google stated that the fraud detection feature is disabled by default, and it only plays a prompt sound when triggered. The screen sharing alert initially supports only English, and will later be expanded to local languages such as Hindi, and plans to include more bank and securities apps.
In addition, Google Play Protect has intercepted 115 million high-risk side-load installations this year, and Google Pay sends over 1 million suspicious transaction warnings per week; the company is working with the Reserve Bank of India to issue a list of licensed digital lending apps, and through the DigiKavach campaign, has reached over 250 million people. Google emphasized that it will release an early version of the SynthID watermark detection API to Indian developers to identify AI-generated fake content.
