More specifically, the phone app determines the Spam call and your screen would turn red indicating that you shouldn’t pick this call. There is a need for such a feature because of privacy concerns, the ongoing issues of fake calls, or if some unknown person calls again & again which gets irritating and disturbing for you and at the same time create problems for the users. That’s why the company think of rolling this feature in all on its Android phones.
