Just filter unknown callers. It's not hard.

my phone is always on mute no vibrations and I don’t answer calls. I’ll return a call if a message is left and it’s for me. But otherwise, 90% of calls go un-responded.

I’ve gotten to the point where I pretty much stay in Do Not Disturb mode. OR I really did mess up my taxes and a lot of companies are just trying to help.

Legit laughed at this.

I work with so many damn Patels and Ranjeshs; now I won’t be able to think of them as anything other than bawjeets.

And fwiw, yes, they’re all terrible to deal with.

Since iOS 26 came out, I don't even get notified about calls from numbers not in my contacts anymore. It's the best thing ever.

That's illegal. Report it to the FCC.

This has been a basic capability for years, it's just that the OT has ignored "silence unknown callers" the 4,000 times it's been suggested.

I avg like 3 a day and they all leave voicemails. It’s infuriating.

Y'all got to quit giving out your phone number. Give out a fake number for like 95%+ of the time and only if you have too. But hospitals will definitely sell out your number and you'll still get spam calls, but not one to give a fake one too.

Yep, I should have noted better that it's the assistant part that's new.

My phone stays on silent and I don't answer or call back any number I am not familiar with. If its important they will leave a message. This allows me to deal with things, talk to people on my terms.

I have it near me most of the time so I do see calls so I don't not answer any calls, but the spam calls seem to come in waves. That's the only pattern I have noticed with them. I have only received spam text in the middle of the night and the earliest I ever got a spam call was minutes before 8AM. 6:53AM is a bit ridiculous.

It just seems like there would be something the phone companies could do to limit spam calls. I read the other day that in 2024, in the US alone, over $12.5 billion was scammed from people (of course this isn't just from spam calls, but it gives you an idea why these scammers stay active).

ftc.gov

This is the link to the article about the amount that Americans were scammed out of in 2024.
