Spam protection is turned on automatically, and you’ll be notified when this happens. You can turn it off anytime in your settings:
Open Google Messages . At the top right, tap your Profile picture or Initials.
Tap Messages settings and then Spam protection. You’ll only find “Spam protection” if it’s available on your device. Turn Enable spam protection on or off.
I’m not seeing in my message settings. Anyone else?

I had to go into Protection and Safety within the Messages setting, and then Spam Protection was in there.

They said it’s rolling out in beta. Spam Protection is already in the Messages app. Scam Protection is coming soon. But to listen to telephone audio that means they want to add it into the native dialer\phone app. Google has a dialer app named “Phone” with a Spam filter feature currently.
I assume that’s what is coming – a.i. into the dialer\phone app.
