Apple’s iOS 26 Update: A New Tool to Block Robocalls and Spam
Apple’s iOS 26 call screening feels like a half-measure compared to Google’s mature system. It’s still buggy, often blocking legit calls and causing frustration. Tech progress is slow when profit trumps real innovation.

"I was testing a call-screening tool for iPhones that is included with Apple’s iOS 26 software system, which arrived last month [...] Many users of Google’s Pixel phones have had access to a similar call screener for a few years, and this week, Google said it had expanded the tool’s availability to more countries, including Australia, Canada and Ireland."
OMG you peeps have no idea how wonderful life is w/ call screening.

Antes eu não atendia ou até mesmo recusava chamadas telefônicas de números desconhecidos, agora eu atendo recitando a seguinte frase que consegui decorar de tal forma que parece até natural (e nem rio mais da #piada):
"Funerária e Pizzaria Abel Frade, onde a perda da manhã é o almoço da tarde, em que posso ajudar?"
(Aprendi através de uma pessoa portuguesa no Lemmy há bastante tempo atrás, e recentemente relembrei porque minha mente é aleatória e resgata coisas aleatórias vez em sempre).
Infelizmente sempre desligam... os #robocalls e #telemarketing não estão interessados nem na perda da manhã, nem no almoço da tarde... Uma pena, as pizzas são deliciosas e crocantes, feitas com o melhor e mais fresco presunto defumado, o freguês come chorando, à luz de velas em um ambiente regado de corolas de crisântemo. 😅

Fcc beboet telnyx voor vermeende frauduleuze robocalls https://www.trendingtech.news/trending-news/2025/02/53254/fcc-beboet-telnyx-voor-vermeende-frauduleuze-robocalls #FCC #Telnyx #robocalls #fraude #VoIP #Trending #News #Nieuws
I got this msg from #Comcast too.
However, I never know if I'm getting any #RoboCalls on #XfinityVoice or on #VZ because the ringer on both phones is always off, my phone is always in #DoNotDisturb mode & I never listen to or delete VMs which means that my VM recorder is ALWAYS full so that no more msgs can be left there.
So, I'm oblivious to any calls that I do not prearrange to accept & receive.
The only way to reach me is by txt & email & the spam filters that I use for those are very effective in screening out any unwanted msgs.
