Samsung is using artificial intelligence to combat scam calls that use voice cloning, at least in South Korea. The tech giant added voice phishing detection to One UI 8, which can listen in on a call and scan for AI voices. The feature was trained on data from the National Police Agency and the National Institute of Scientific Investigation. It's accessible through the Phone app settings under the Voice Phishing Suspected Call Notification toggle.

Your phone will vibrate if an AI voice is detected to warn you in case you aren't looking. According to GSMArena, it looks like there are two levels to the feature. One is "suspected," where it cautions you to check the caller's identity, and the other is "detected," where it confirms that it is a phishing call. Your call log will remember detected phishing calls, so you can avoid them.

Snapchat can let trusted contacts know you made it home safe

Snapchat introduced an aptly named Home Safe feature that lets your loved ones know you've made it home safely after an outing. It sends a one-time alert to contacts you've already shared your location with. However, location sharing is disabled by default, so it is a feature you will activate by your own choice.

You can enable it by setting up your home location. Tap on your Bitmoji on the Snap Map, and then select My Home. So, next time you head out and want to keep a trusted contact in the loop, open your conversation with them. After that, tap the Map icon and select the Home Safe button. Your friend or family member will receive an automatic alert in the chat once you get home.
