Google introduces spam protection
feature for messages to its Android users

     Google has introduced 'Spam Protection Feature' for text messages app to its Android users after almost over six months working on iti development.

    Android Police reported on late Friday, that Spam protection feathre is now going live, though not everyone seems to have it just yet, based on reports from sources.

      Many users got a promt called "New! Spam Protection" soon after opening the messages application.The change appears to be server-side and in a limited rollout for the time being, as other devices, we've tested, including my own, don't have it just yet. When it does hit your device, you should see a notification similar to that above when launching Messages," the report added further.

    Android users can disable this feature in the Settings and then in the Advanced menu (Settings→Advanced→Spam Protection), once introduced. Data about spam messages is to improve the search engine giant's ability to "detect future spam for users".
    
    The company has maintained that Messages is its primary communication solution for its users. 

    Earlier this week, Google announced it was planning to shift its Messages web app -- which allows users to manage SMS/MMS messages on their phone from another device -- from Android.com to Google.com.

    With no official announcement coming from Google just yet about the 'Spam protection feature' it would appear that the feature is still being tested and not making a global rollout quite yet.
