Google Pilots Android In-Call Scam Warnings in the U.S. With JPMorgan Chase and Cash App

The test interrupts risky screen-sharing calls with a 30-second pause to disrupt urgency-driven bank impersonation scams.

Overview

  • Google has begun a U.S. pilot that adds in-call warnings for users of select financial apps, including JPMorgan Chase and Cash App.
  • The protection triggers when a user is on a call with an unsaved number, is sharing their screen, and opens a supported financial app.
  • A full-screen alert offers a one-tap option to end the call and stop sharing, and it enforces a 30-second delay before proceeding.
  • The feature runs on Android 11 and later and is rolling out to U.S. users of the U.S. versions of participating apps starting in December 2025.
  • Earlier pilots in the U.K., Brazil, and India informed the expansion, with Google reporting the U.K. trial helped thousands and now spans most major U.K. banks.
