Further details on Google Voice latest update
With the evolution of technology moving at a very fast pace, it’s quite unfortunate that you can’t just keep spam out of your smartphones (completely). This applies to both emails and Gmail has also put in place methods to keep the flux of spam mail at the barest minimum. There are some other ways to prevent spam (which might take the form of robot calls or even texts) on your devices.
People choose to block spam text messages manually or employ the use of third-party apps and then there’s Google which keeps adding updates and tweaks to avoid spam circumstances – which is what the brand is doing with Google Voice. To be able to detect Spam calls with Google voice, you have to set the spam filter off for Google Voice. That way, there will be a suspicious spam label on the Caller id screen. Also, you’ll notice the label on the call history section making it easy for you to notice the number anywhere else in the app.
As mentioned earlier, the update will not just notice the Spam calls but will also block them and make future calls from the number go to voicemail. Meanwhile, you can tag a number as spam even when it isn’t and you wouldn’t get the suspected spam label on the caller id. On availability, sources mentioned that it will first be available in a few regions and spread out gradually. But there’s more left to be seen as regards the effectiveness of this feature.
