If you’re tired of spam calls ringing your phone nonstop, here’s a quick way to quiet them down without blocking every number individually.
Steps to Silence Unknown Callers
- Open Settings: Start by opening your Settings app.
- Find the Phone App: Scroll down until you see Phone, then tap it.
- Enable Silence Unknown Callers: Scroll down in the Phone settings and toggle on Silence Unknown Callers.
What does this do? Calls from numbers you don’t recognize will:
- Be sent straight to voicemail.
- Show up in your Recents list (so you can review them later if needed).
- No longer ring your phone!
This doesn’t block the numbers, but it does stop your phone from constantly ringing with spam.
If you’ve been getting spam calls like crazy, especially from multiple area codes, this can be a game-changer. I hope this helps!
