While “Scam Detection” in the “Phone by Google” app has not yet been rolled out for Japan/Japanese, Japanese descriptions related to the “Scam Detection” feature were discovered in the in-app code of the “Phone by Google” v194.0.813798200-publicbeta-pixel update distributed in early October 2025. Although this increased the likelihood of a Japan/Japanese release for “Scam Detection,” it has not been launched yet.
