This iPhone Trick Can Eliminate Spam Calls for Good
CNET • • business
Key Points:
- iOS 26 introduces a call screening feature that helps iPhone users reduce spam calls without needing Apple Intelligence, compatible with devices like the iPhone 14 Pro.
- To enable call screening, users go to Settings > Apps > Phone and choose from three options under Screen Unknown Callers: Never, Ask Reason for Calling, or Silence.
- The "Ask Reason for Calling" option is recommended for most users, as it prompts unknown callers to state their purpose before the phone rings, allowing users to decide whether to answer.
- The "Silence" option sends all calls from unsaved numbers directly to voicemail without ringing, while "Never" allows all calls through as usual.
- Users can switch between these options anytime, and silencing the phone entirely remains an effective way to avoid disturbances from spam calls.
