Enhanced spam protection through automatic labeling of suspected spam messages in Google Voice
If you're using Google Voice, you're familiar with our
suspected spam caller warnings. We're extending this feature to SMS messages on Android and iOS devices. You'll see these labels within the message, and you can either:
- Confirm a suspected spam message, which causes future messages from that number to go directly into the spam folder.
- Mark a labeled message as not spam, after which the suspected spam label is never displayed for that number again.
Available to Voice Starter, Standard, and Premier customers, as well as users with personal accounts in the US. | Rolling out now to
Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains at an extended pace (potentially longer than 15 days for feature visibility).

Google Account profile and what information others can see.
Add an organizational unit as an attribute in your external directory
When using
Directory Sync, you can now place users from the Azure Active Directory or Active Directory to a specific organizational unit on the Google Workspace side. To do so, you’ll need to add an organizational unit as an attribute in your external directory. This makes it easier to sync users who will be mapped to different organizational units on the Google Workspace side. | Directory Sync is available as an open beta to all Google Workspace customers. | Visit the Help Center to learn more about
setting up users to sync based on an organizational unit attribute.
