Highlights

  • Google has integrated Airtel’s AI-powered spam filters and identity verification into RCS chats in Google Messages.
  • The system verifies business identities, honors DND preferences, categorises messages and throttles suspicious senders flagged by both AI systems.

Google has strengthened its Rich Communications Services (RCS) platform in India by integrating advanced spam detection and anti-fraud tools developed by Bharti Airtel. The move is aimed at tackling the rising wave of online scams targeting mobile users across the country.

 

According to the Airtel announcement on X, its partnership with Google to roll out its AI-powered spam filters and threat detection systems for RCS chats within the Google Messages app. The app comes pre-installed or is widely available on most Android smartphones. Here are more details.

Google-Airtel Join Hands For AI Spam Detection and Identity Validation for RCS

Under this collaboration, Google’s RCS messaging service will utilise Airtel’s intelligence framework to verify the identity of message senders. This verification is based on business identity checks conducted by the telecom operator.

“In a pioneering initiative, we have now partnered with Google to extend customer protection beyond the telco domain and made the rich messaging platform safer and more secure. We now call on the broader OTT communication platforms to work with us and make sure that customers are protected from the spam and financial fraud menace,” said Gopal Vittal, Executive Vice Chairman, Bharti Airtel, in a press release.

“We are committed to continuing to work with the broader ecosystem of carriers to standardise messaging security and create a consistent and trusted messaging experience for all RCS messaging users around the world,” said Sameer Samat, President, Android Ecosystem at Google.

The integration will also allow the RCS platform to honour users’ DND (Do Not Disturb) preferences. Messages will be categorised as either promotional or transactional, with restrictions applied accordingly.

In cases where both Google and Airtel’s AI-based spam detection systems flag a sender as suspicious, the platform will “throttle” the account. This means limiting the number of messages that particular sender can distribute, thereby reducing the risk of mass spam or fraud attempts.

Airtel stated that its anti-spam and anti-scam systems have already blocked 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam SMS messages on its network across India. According to the company, these measures have contributed to a 68.7 per cent reduction in the financial losses suffered by scam victims.

What is RCS?

RCS, or Rich Communications Services, represents the next evolution of open messaging standards and protocols designed to replace traditional SMS and MMS.

It enhances the default messaging experience by enabling features such as high-quality photo and video sharing, messaging over Wi-Fi or mobile data, read receipts, typing indicators, and group chats.

Expanding Protection Beyond Telecom Networks

The latest Google-Airtel partnership marks a significant shift by extending spam and scam protection beyond the telecom service provider (TSP) level into over-the-top (OTT) communication platforms. This development comes at a time when telecom operators and technology companies in India have been engaged in policy disagreements.

One such issue involves the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) SIM-binding mandate, which came into effect on March 1, 2026. Under this directive, users of messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram must have an active SIM card registered on their phones to access these services.

FAQS

Q1. What is the purpose of Google and Airtel’s partnership on RCS chats?

Answer. The collaboration aims to strengthen Google’s Rich Communications Services (RCS) platform in India by integrating Airtel’s AI-powered spam filters and identity verification tools. This helps protect users from online scams, fraudulent messages and spam by verifying business identities.

Q2. How does the new spam and fraud detection system work in Google Messages?

Answer. The system uses Airtel’s intelligence framework to verify the identity of message senders and categorise messages as promotional or transactional. If both Google and Airtel’s AI systems flag a sender as suspicious, the platform limits (or “throttles”) the number of messages that sender can distribute, reducing the risk of mass spam or fraud attempts.

Q3. What impact have Airtel’s anti-spam measures had so far?

Answer. Airtel reports that its systems have already blocked 71 billion spam calls and 2.9 billion spam SMS messages across India.

  • Apple is set for multiple announcements between March 2 and 4 including an in-person event.
  • Apple views the budget MacBook as an “incredible value” that is likely to attract switchers and first-time Mac buyers.

Apple is gearing up for a packed week of product announcements and a new report suggests that the company is particularly optimistic about the low-cost MacBook.

Cupertino giant is set to begin the week with an online announcement, followed by more updates on Tuesday. The week will conclude with a final reveal and an in-person media event on Wednesday, March 4.

According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, Apple has advised retail employees to brace for a “major rush” of customers this week. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman noted that some employees feel the preparations for the new product launches are “on par with what happens before the debut of new iPhones in the fall.”

Gurman writes, “Internally, the low-end MacBook is being described as an “incredible value,” with Apple believing the launch is going to drive a serious number of switchers from Windows machines and Chromebooks. It could even compel iPhone users without computers to buy their first Mac.”

This level of readiness suggests that at least one of the products being unveiled between Monday and Wednesday is expected to have “major mainstream appeal.”

Upcoming Affordable MacBook – What We Know So Far?

Among the anticipated devices, the lower-cost MacBook is believed to generate the most excitement.

Although there are no confirmed details about pricing, estimates place the starting price between $599 and $799 in the United States. Additionally, eligible college students and educators are expected to receive a $100 discount off the regular retail price.

Adding a nostalgic touch, the new MacBook may draw inspiration from the colourful iBook models of the early 2000s. Reports suggest it could be offered in vibrant finishes such as yellow, green, blue, and possibly pink.

In terms of hardware, the budget MacBook is expected to run on the A18 Pro chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 16 Pro, rather than Apple’s M-series silicon. The laptop is also rumoured to feature a smaller 12.9-inch display. Based on the A18 Pro’s specifications, the device will likely come with 8GB of RAM and it is also expected to include standard USB-C ports instead of faster Thunderbolt connectivity.

Beyond the lower-cost MacBook, most of the other products expected this week are likely to focus primarily on chipset upgrades rather than major design overhauls. Potential announcements include an iPhone 17e powered by an A19 chip, an iPad Air equipped with the M4 chip, an iPad 12 featuring the A18 chip, a MacBook Air updated with the M5 chip, and MacBook Pro models running on M5 Pro and M5 Max processors.

FAQS

Q1. When is Apple expected to announce the affordable MacBook?

Answer. Apple has a series of announcements scheduled between March 2–4, 2026, including an online reveal, updates on Tuesday, and a final in-person media event on March 4.

Q2. What are the expected specifications of the budget MacBook?

Answer. It is rumoured to feature the A18 Pro chip (from iPhone 16 Pro), a 12.9-inch display, 8GB RAM, standard USB-C ports and vibrant colour options inspired by early iBooks.

Q3. How much will the affordable MacBook cost?

Answer. Pricing is estimated between $599 and $799 in the U.S., with eligible students and educators receiving a $100 discount.
