FAQs about Spam Call Detect

It’s a tool that monitors incoming calls in real time and notifies you of any suspected spam or fraud.

When you receive a call that is suspected spam or fraud, your device’s Call Display will be updated with a “Likely Spam” or “Likely Fraud” warning. Additional information may also be displayed, such as “Political,” “Non-profit,” “Survey” or the business name.

The warnings are in English everywhere except in Quebec, where they are in French. This is based on area codes, not where you are located at the time of receiving the call.
