Check if a text message is a scam using Circle to Search.

Scammers have gotten more sophisticated — but so have the tools we use to stop them. Circle to Search on Android can review suspicious text messages to help you identify potential scams before you click a link or share your personal information. ¹

To give it a try, long-press the home button or navigation bar on your Android device to activate Circle to Search, then draw a circle around the message you're unsure about. You’ll see an AI Overview with guidance and insights including suggested next steps. If the results show red flags, consider deleting the message and blocking the number.
