In the past two days alone, I’ve gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.

    My Google Pixel uses AI to answer the call in the background, and will automatically report as spam and block these calls. I haven’t gotten a spam call in over a year

      Hmm - I have a Pixel as well. I’ve been blocking / reporting but they seem to come from tons of different phone numbers. And for some reason the Pixel lets them leave a voice mail if they’re blocked / known spam.

        Wait, where do I enable this? 😮

        Edit: Found this guide, but Spam & Call Screen isn’t available on my 8 pro. So I guess it’s only regionally available. :/

        Edit 2: Some people online seem to have the same problem. Assigning Phone back as Spam App in the phone settings, clearing the cache and force stopping the Phone app also didn’t change anything.

      Uh… does your phone still ring, or does it literally answer the call and the robot voice takes over. In both cases, I find that freaky
