They added it in iOS 13 under Settings, Phone, Silence Unknown Callers. "Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list. Incoming calls will continue to ring from people in your contacts, recent outgoing calls, and Siri Suggestions."
- Ntrails 7y agoJfc the last thing i want is a fucking voicemail, to listen to the tortuous preamble of robo voice saying the source phone number before listening to that empty click.
- artursapek 7y agoIn my experience they never leave voicemails. The only ones I've gotten were some shit in Chinese that I get once in a while (917 area code)
- stjohnswarts 7y agoIt's still better than 1) missing the calls which would happen if you blocked everyone not known to you 2) it's easy to hit 7 and delete almost immediately 3) less disruptive than having a nigerian scammer remind you of how crappy your sex life is and he can help out 4) they don't usually leave a voice mail, they'd rather just move on to the next person on the list.
- pfranz 7y agoFor me, skimming the transcription and swiping to delete is quick enough to manage.
