Anyone else have lots of trouble with spam on iOS? (self.apple_enthusiast)

At this point 75% of my calls are spam. I get the occasional text spam but it’s much lower. The number one feature I want Apple to announce is features to better handle spam.

Any else in the same boat?

Call Blocking & Identification: Turn on Silence Junk Callers (available with certain carriers) to silence calls identified by your carrier as potential spam or fraud.

Such a bummer my carrier doesn’t support this.

You can still silence unknown callers (Settings -> Phone -> Silence Unknown Caller). They will ring for the person on the ither end but be muted and from your perspective go right to hour call log/voicemail. And if they speak onto your voicemail starting with iOS 17 in fall you can read along what they say and pickup if it’s something you need to interact with.

Wait, you can pick up a call that is in voicemail? I had idea.

That is an exciting feature for 17, do you have a link to a demo?
