Spam calls used to be one of my greatest frustrations 😡 a distraction that interrupts my work, dinner, and focus alike. With iOS 26, Apple introduced Call Screening, a feature that answers unknown calls on your behalf, prompts the caller to identify themselves and explain their reason for calling, and then lets you decide whether to take the call. That simple feature turns nuisance calls into manageable decisions rather than unwanted interruptions. It’s not just about blocking numbers; it’s about knowing who is calling before your phone ever rings. Whether you’re trying to reduce stress, avoid scams, or just keep your attention where it belongs, Call Screening shows how thoughtful design can quietly improve everyday tech. If you don't have this turned on, do it now. You'll thank me.
TL;DR
🧠 iOS 26 screens unknown calls before they ring
⚡ Callers must state their identity and reason
