Recent versions of Android have an option to automatically screen callers who are not in your contact list. The caller gets a robot asking them why they're calling, and you can view the transcript of their response in real time and decide whether or not to answer.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoI thought that was Pixel only option - I'll have to dig in and see if it's available on a Samsung.
- ChuckMcM 7y agoAs I recall this was a Google Voice feature as well. My mobile carrier puts "scam likely" on calls that its algorithms have determined are likely spam, I wish there was an android option to just not ring the phone if that was the caller ID name.
- bonestamp2 7y agoMy carrier was doing that but I haven't seen it on any spam calls lately.
- texasbigdata 7y agoIt's nice but buggy!
- unclebucknasty 7y agoI've used this feature and each time it occurs to me that the next step for spammers will likely be to simply leave the message, as they will still get an impression via the transcript.
