Chrome for Android Now Warns Against Deceptive Notifications
2025-05-10

Chrome is launching a new feature on Android that uses on-device machine learning to detect and warn users about potentially deceptive or spammy notifications. The feature analyzes notification content (title, body, and action button text) and, when a suspicious notification is detected, displays a warning with options to unsubscribe or view the notification. All analysis happens locally on the device; notification content isn't sent to Google. This protects user privacy. This is part of Chrome's ongoing commitment to user safety, alongside features like automatically revoking notification permissions from abusive sites and one-tap unsubscribe.
