  • Google is rolling out a new update to the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3.
  • The update brings the Pixel 9-exclusive Scam Detection feature to the smartwatches.
  • When enabled, the feature will alert Pixel Watch users of scam calls on the go.

Google is rolling out an out-of-schedule update to the Pixel Watch 2 and Pixel Watch 3, adding Scam Detection support — previously exclusive to the Pixel 9 series. If you own one of these watches and have it paired with a Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, or 9 Pro Fold, you’ll now receive scam alerts right on your wrist during suspicious calls.
