Android users are no strangers to spam calls. In fact, according to a study by the Pew Research Center, nearly half of all American adults have received spam phone calls in their lifetime. And while there are a few ways to stop spam calls on Android, verified calls may be the best solution for many users. Verified calls are phone calls that are verified by a third party before they reach your device. This means that the caller is not just trying to sell you something or ask for your personal information; they’ve been verified as legitimate by a third party. There are several benefits to using verified calls on Android:

  1. You can be sure that the call is from a legitimate source. Spammers often use fake names and numbers in order to trick you into answering their call, and verified calls eliminate this possibility entirely.
  2. Verified calls are more secure than regular phone calls. Because they’re verified by a third party, you can be sure that the information being exchanged between you and the caller is safe and secure. This means that you won’t have to worry about your personal information being stolen or hacked during a call with a verified caller.
  3. Verified calls can save you time and money. By avoiding spam phone Calls altogether, you can save both time and money on your cell phone bill each month. And since most spam Calls originate from overseas countries, using verified Calls can help protect your privacy as well – no one will be able to track your whereabouts simply by knowing which numbers you’ve called from! ..

Spam calls might be the worst thing about carrying a phone in your pocket every day. Thankfully, there are tools to help with this. We’ll show you how to set up “Verified Calls” on your Android phone using one of Google’s own apps.

Verified Calls is a feature found in the “Phone by Google” app. Google works with businesses to verify caller’s identities, show the reason for calling, and even display logos. The Google Phone app can be installed on most Android devices (if it’s not pre-installed already), including Samsung handsets.

After you’ve installed the Phone by Google app, it will need to be set as the default phone app. If you missed the prompt to do this when first opening the app, it can also be done manually. The process is slightly different depending on the phone, but it will be something similar to Settings > Apps >Default Apps > Phone.

With that out of the way, let’s enable Verified Calls. Open Phone by Google and tap the three-dot menu icon in the top-right corner.

Select “Settings” from the menu.

From the Settings menu, tap “Spam and Call Screen.” It may also be called “Caller ID and Spam.”

Next, flip the toggle on for “Verified Calls.”

This will take you to a screen asking to add your phone number to your Google account. This is necessary in order to use Verified Calls. Tap “Yes, I’m In” if you’re fine with agreeing to that permission.

You’ll be brought back to the previous screen and the “Verified Calls” toggle will be on. Here’s an example of the difference between a regular call and a Verified Call.

That’s all there is to it! You’ll get a lot more information on the screen for these Verified Calls, which will help you distinguish between spam calls and real ones.
