5. Detect and block spam calls with just a Tap

iPhone users can use Silence Unknown Callers feature to block spam calls on their smartphone. This is an in-built feature, which blocks phone numbers that you've never been in contact with and don't have saved in your contacts list. Though, if you've previously texted with someone using their phone number or if a person has shared their phone number with you in an email, a phone call from that number will go through. To turn on this feature, go to the Settings, Phone, and then scroll down to the Silence Unknown Callers. This will silence the unknown numbers, while details will be sent to your voicemail, and appear in your recent calls list.
