Google just gave us another good reason to use its
phone app: better protection from
spam callers.*
The company's
phone app for Android has a new setting that can automatically detect
spam calls and
send them
straight to
voicemail so your
phone never even rings.

The app now has a
"filter suspected spam call" option in its settings. When enabled, suspected
spam calls will be routed
straight to your phone's voicemail. Your
phone won't ring, and you won't get a missed call notification.
If the caller does leave a voicemail, you also won't get a notification, though you'll have the ability to view missed
calls and voicemails that have been "filtered."
