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?

I’m kinda surprised I don’t receive any, is it maybe a USA only problem?
Yes this is mainly a US problem. Buy not exclusively. I assume it’s the main market for such calls due to the size and low language barrier.
In China you get also all kind of spam callers. The Banks asking if you need a credit, an agent calls if you want to buy a house, a car or whatever. Before the car insurance runs out, insurance companies keep calling you… Really annoying

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?
