Fight spam calls with the new features of iOS 26! "Reason First, Then Response" — Graduate from "Incoming Call Stress" with iOS 26's Call Screening.

The "Call Screening" feature in iOS 26 allows your iPhone to check the caller's name and "purpose" when receiving a call from an unknown number, displaying this information on the screen so you can decide whether to answer. It offers three modes: Never, Ask Reason, and Silence, and allows call history to be separated via the Unknown Callers list. While many on social media **welcome it as reducing call stress**, some point out differences in display and functionality depending on the region and device. Compared to the pre-existing feature on Pixel, it is both seen as "catching up" and praised for "Apple's refined approach." Given that this is right after a major update, it is suggested to monitor stability and battery performance. You can maximize its effectiveness by using preset operations tailored to your needs.
