A couple things that would be really useful:
1. A “Google This Number” button when an unknown call comes in, or something that pulls the equivalent “is this a scam?” information that I always seek out.
2. Rather than only having the option to Accept or Decline, I want a “silently wait until they hang up” option. I don’t want them to know I am declining their call (as that sends information that I exist and am a valid person); I want them to sit there and wait for me to pick up. Really what I want is for the phone to return my display to me; I don’t want my entire screen covered with the incoming-call message.

- sukilot 10y agoDon't over think it. You aren't leaking information by declining the call. They know the number is valid when it starts ringing
- Jommi 10y agoIn Finland we have this androdi app callled Fonecta Caller. It basically searches a public registry for that number and returns the owner. I just don't answer calls from names I don't recognize, or sometimes they even have the name of the firm on it!

I think every Android phone I ever had featured this option (and probably every phone before that too). On Android phones I used, you have to press one of the volume buttons - it silences the incoming call without declining it. I use that feature very often, not just on telemarketers.
