Phone spam can be really tedious and in some parts of the planet, services such as clock, a European startup that tries to identify calls thanks to the large database that has, get great success as it happens in India, a country ravaged by this form of advertising invasive that you forget the rights of citizens.
It is now also Google which want to become hard with phone spam to update the app for calls to the Nexus Android One that will now have the ability to identify spam calls. A novelty that is attached to that from 2013 in which received an interesting update that allowed the ID for incoming calls from businesses as part of the launch of Android Kitkat.
But it is at this time when she is getting more serious with this topic for spam recognition, although this functionality will be limited to users who have a Nexus or a Android One device.
As I mentioned earlier, clock is one of the services that attempts to alleviate this great world problem to offer a large database that is updated with the data that offer users to identify the sources of phone numbers that use spam.
Google has said that this new feature will allow users block and report numbers of phone related to spam, which indicates that the company will use data from users to recognize the sources of such calls, though their dialer app has the same features as clock. Anyway, is a great measure to alleviate this serious problem a bit to detect spam and prevent the user is faced with this type of invasive advertising.
So curious is that Apple also is including this feature in its imminent iOS 10.
