iPhone Spam Call Blocker: New Settings to Screen Calls Before Answering

• iPhone users can now screen spam calls with a robotic voice asking the reason for calling.
• A live transcript of the conversation is displayed, allowing users to decide whether to answer or hang up.
• This feature was introduced with the iOS 26 update, though it received less publicity.
• To enable, go to Settings > Apps > Phone > Unknown Callers and select 'Ask reason for calling'.
• Users can also block numbers or allow only contacts, but this might lead to missing important calls.
