Apple’s New Call Screening Feature: How it Works, Why it Will Cut Spam Calls, but Won’t Protect Against Scams
Apple’s new Call Screening cuts the robo noise by asking unknown callers to say who they are and why they are calling. That will make your phone a lot quieter.
But do not mistake less spam for scam protection. Human scammers will simply answer the prompt and then try to con you. Real scam defense needs conversational level intelligence and social escalation. If you care about preventing money loss, treat this as progress, not the finish line.
