I want it to be more common and standard. Definitely want to turn on this feature but I don’t have it available for me on my phone.
It’s literally built into Android and iOS.
Not available on my zenphone 9, quick Google says the manufacturer has to add it themselves, apparently only pixel and Samsung phones rn?
From what i see about iOS, only iOS 26 does which is in beta not even released yet
My 5 years old Pixel has it and it's very convenient since 95% of the calls I get are from spammers
where it asks people what they are calling about? Not just spam screening
Yes it asks people why they are calling and shows the response as a text to the user. Here's how it looks
Awesome
It also doesn’t work yet, I tried it. Maybe that’s because of my unusual language settings though (German region with English system language and Siri).
On iOS, it’s called Live Voicemail under Settings -> Apps -> Phone.
They’ve had call screening for quite some time now, the on hold call stuff is new.
It is, but not all versions and it’s not available for all devices yet.
Only in the US
Not only. I have Android in Ireland, and it has call screening.
