How To Block Spam Calls On Iphone

Hey there, tech-savvy friend! Let's chat about something that's been driving us all nuts - spam calls. You know, those pesky little devils that pop up on your iPhone, making you think it's your grandma calling, only to hear a robot trying to sell you timeshares in Mars. Well, it's time to give them the boot! Let's dive into how to block spam calls on your iPhone.

First Things First: Identify the Spammer

Before you can block these unwanted callers, you need to know who they are. Unfortunately, there's no 'Spam' button on your iPhone (yet!), but there are a few ways to identify them.

If you're using the Phone app, you'll see a 'Report Junk' button under the number. Tap that, and Siri will report the number to Apple. Also, if you use Siri & Search in Settings, you can ask Siri to 'Report Junk' for you. Easy peasy!

Block, Block, Block!

Now that you've identified the spammer, it's time to block them. Here's how:

1. Open the Phone app and go to the Recents tab.

2. Find the number you want to block and tap the 'i' next to it.

3. Scroll down and tap Block this Caller.

4. Confirm by tapping Block Contact.

And just like that, you've told them to take a hike! But wait, there's more!
