Apple published the second public version of iOS 26 on August 7. The update has brought a handful of new features, such as a new liquid glass design and the possibility of changing the repetition length of your alarm, to the iPhones of developers and beta-testers. It also gave beta developers and testers an easy way to prevent spam appellants from disturbing them with a new call screening feature.
Call screening is not an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iPhone compatible iOS 26, like the iPhone 14 Pro, will obtain this feature when Apple will publish the update of the iPhone this fall. But you must first activate this feature. I activated the functionality at the start of the beta process, and my iPhone diligently retained spam calls, such as the Hoover dam.
Remember that Apple is still in beta testing iOS 26. If you want to try the beta version, I recommend downloading it to a secondary device.
It is also possible that Apple can adjust the screening of calls and other update features, before the release of the final version of iOS 26 this fall. If you want to try it today, here is how to activate calls for calls in iOS 26 in a few easy steps.
How to transform calls for calls on your iPhone
1 and 1 Faucet Parameters.
2 Faucet Applications Near the bottom of the menu.
3 and 3 Faucet Phone.
As part of the section of the section, unknown appellants, you will see three options: never ask the reason for the call and silence. Here is what you need to know about each of these options and which is suitable for most people.
Which call screening option should you choose?
Choosing Never leaves the calls from not saved numbers and ring on your phone. It also allows missed calls to be documented in your recent list in your phone application, just like before calling calls is available. This is the default option of your telephone application.
If you press the reason for the reason to call, your iPhone will ask anyone who calls you from a number not saved the reason for its call without ringing your iPhone. After the appellant answers a few questions, your iPhone will inform you with a transcription of the caller’s answers. Then you can decide whether you want to answer the call or not.
You can also choose silence, which is the nuclear option for telephone calls. Any not saved number that you call you will be reduced to silence and sent to voicemail, no question asked.
Ask the reason to call is the best option for most people who want to filter calls. I chose it, and even if it informed me when the callors of fraud answered certain questions, which they rarely did, that also informed me when my doctor’s office called to review the test results. If I had chosen silence, I would have missed my doctor’s office and the choice of never “would mean checking each call if I expected something important.
If you choose to ask the reason to call it and not like it, you can always follow the steps again on top and choose one of the other options. And remember, you can always silence your iPhone and not be disturbed by phone calls. My wife has not removed her silent phone for months and she unfortunately remains disturbed by spam calls.
To find out more about iOS 26, these are my first impressions of the beta iOS version, how to reduce the effects of liquid glass in the beta version and all the new features that Apple said that it would bring to your device later this year.
