Samsung is taking a big step to improve smartphone security by launching its advanced AI scam detection feature worldwide. First seen in the Galaxy S26 series, this protection will soon be available on new devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8, giving users more safety.
Samsung worked with Google to create this feature, using Gemini AI technology to spot scam calls and messages as they happen. The AI on your device looks for warning signs like urgent payment requests, gift cards, or requests for personal information.
If the system finds a possible scam, it sends instant alerts like “Likely scam”, along with a vibration or on-screen message. This helps users respond quickly and stay safe.
Previously, this AI scam detection was only available to English-speaking users in the United States. Now, Samsung is preparing to launch it in more countries and on more devices, including the latest foldable phones.
By expanding this feature, Samsung shows it wants AI security to be standard for everyone, not just a special or limited option.

The system uses AI directly on your device, so your conversations are checked locally and not sent to the cloud. This protects your privacy and lets the feature work in real time. The AI looks for scam-like behaviour and warns you right away, without interrupting what you’re doing.
The feature mostly checks calls from unknown numbers, where scams are more likely. You also need to turn it on yourself, so you have full control over your privacy.
Scams are becoming more advanced and sometimes even use AI. This feature gives real benefits, like immediate alerts during suspicious calls or messages and improved privacy, since your data stays secure on your device.
Reduced financial risk: Early warnings can help prevent you from losing money to fraud.
Peace of mind: This feature is especially helpful for older adults and people who are not comfortable with technology.

Samsung’s move is part of a larger trend in technology, shifting from flashy AI features to practical, safety-focused tools. As cyber threats change quickly, adding AI to everyday security is becoming more important.
As this feature rolls out worldwide, it could set new standards for smartphone safety.
It is an advanced security feature developed by Samsung that uses artificial intelligence to detect and warn users about potential scam calls and messages in real time.
The feature analyzes calls and messages using on-device AI, identifying suspicious patterns such as urgent money requests or attempts to extract personal information, and alerts users instantly.
Yes, Samsung is planning a global rollout of this AI scam detection feature, expanding beyond its initial limited availability in select regions.
No, the system processes data locally on the device rather than sending it to the cloud, ensuring that user conversations remain private and secure.
