Reply to comment by 688165135 in This is one of the best iOS 16 features. The amount of spam/scam messages I receive have gone down a lot. by MrYeetFeet69

You can tell your iPhone to filter unknown callers. They’ll go to voicemail so if they’re important you can get them anyway

Yep, thanks for this tip. I had it turned on for a bit but ultimately wasn’t a fan of the shotgun approach. I missed calls I was expecting from companies/businesses I was trying to schedule appts with and it was kind of a hassle trying to call them back.

Maybe the solution is to turn filtering back on during election season! Haha.

Not sure who your carrier is, but T-Mobile offers spam block. They advertise it as a paid feature but there is a less granular option in the Scam Shield app that is probably sufficient for 99% of people that is free.

Other carriers might have similar apps.
