Summary: “To free customers from the clutches of spam,” Airtel has launched an AI-powered spam detection solution.

Spam is a threat that affects all mobile users in today's world, where phones are essential. These unwanted calls and texts, promotional, fraudulent, or just another pointless offer, have become a part of our everyday lives, interfering with our personal and professional lives and often leaving us feeling like we are up against an unending assault.

To "free customers from the clutches of spam," Airtel has introduced the nation's first AI-powered spam detection system. It protects users from the onslaught of spam; this ground-breaking technology promises to improve the mobile experience in every way.

Bharti Airtel just launched a new AI-powered spam detection, on Monday, and in the ten days since its launch, it has successfully detected and banned 2.3 million spam SMS messages and 122 million possible spam calls in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh alone.

The network detects and marks calls related to unwanted offers or fraudulent schemes as "suspected spam" on the user's screen, enabling users to make sensible choices regarding which calls or messages to respond to.

This technology isn't limited to phone calls. It also identifies dubious text messages, marking them with "Suspected Spam" at the beginning. This warns users to avoid potential scams or unrelated marketing before they open the mail.

One of the best things about Airtel's solution is how easy it is to use! Airtel's spam detection is free and needs no downloads or settings, unlike other third-party apps.

The spam detection is automatically activated when a user activates their Airtel number. The system detects the incoming spam in less than two milliseconds, allowing users to focus on important things.
