The ZDNET article explains Android's Circle to Search feature, which uses on-device AI to analyze text messages and flag potential scams; it provides device and OS requirements (Android 13+, Pixel 6+/Galaxy S21+), step-by-step instructions to enable and use the feature, and recommends blocking and reporting messages flagged as suspicious while noting AI can err so users should verify when unsure.
