Spam calls continue to bombard iPhones and Android devices on a daily basis. These are some steps an individual can follow to fight back.
Here’s the good news, though: By following just a few simple steps, and adjusting some settings on your iPhone, you can dramatically cut down the frequency of these spam calls. If not all but eliminate them.I hate it. I’m amazed this spam shit is allowed.Has anyone else been getting WAY more spam calls/texts lately?

feature, open the Settings app. Next, scroll down a bit until you see the Phone preferences pane. Once there, all you have to do is toggle the Silence Unknown Callers into the “on” position. At that point, if an unknown number tries to reach you, it will go straight to voicemail. You’ll see a voicemail notification if you look, but you won’t see a call-incoming notification.
Apple does add this important note about the feature: “If you’ve previously texted with someone using their phone number or if a person has shared their phone number with you in an email, a phone call from that number will go through.” Along similar lines, if a user makes an emergency call then the feature will temporarily turn itself off for 24 hours to make sure that incoming calls go through.
Android handsets, of course, vary a bit, but you can enable a similar feature on them, too. From the phone app, select the three dots and then go to Settings. That’s where you can find more than one option to block any strange calls. Like Call Blocking on some models, for example, which lets users block anonymous calls.
