Having something that can screen calls for spam, something that can stop you accidentally dialling a premium rate number and getting an unexpected large bill, or something that can intercept a call and route it over a cheaper VoiP connection is really useful.
It needs to be a carefully managed feature, but it's certainly not "zero need".
- megous 5y agoAdn that's ok. 911/112/etc. calls should just not be screenable or blockable by apps or susceptible to third party app crashes. They should be short-circuited to just happen on the default phone app, with little possibility for any interference from apps on the system.
