iOS 14 New feature silence junk calls - How To Use silence junk callers ios 14

Spam and other unwanted calls have become a real nuisance over the past few years. Apple included its feature that allows users to automatically silence unknown and spam calls on iPhone starting with iOS 13 and Verizon offers an even more advanced version of this with iOS 14. Read on for how this smart feature works and how to enable it on iPhone.

Apple launched the ability to silence unknown callers with iOS 13 but the trouble is that it doesn’t differentiate between spam calls and a legitimate caller who isn’t in your contact list. So if you forget you have it turned on, you can easily miss important calls.

Verizon’s Call Filter software is able to offer a better experience with spam detection, filtering, a personal block list, and more. And now it’s offering the ability to silence junk calls so they don’t bother you at all. This latest feature is available to iOS 14 beta testers who are subscribed to the Call Filter Plus plan ($2.99 for one line, or $7.99/3+ lines).

It works by identifying spam calls and sending them directly to voicemail without ringing your phone. Later this fall, the feature will be available to even the free Call Filter plans when iOS 14 launches to the public.

How to use “Silence Junk Callers iOS 14 ” feature

With iOS 14, Verizon’s Silence Junk Callers features should be turned on by default. Here’s how to double-check:

• In iOS 14, head to Settings
• Swipe down and tap Phone
• Tap Call Blocking & Identification
• Tap the toggle next to Silence Junk Callers

As Verizon continues its work to battle spam calls it says it is “authenticating billions of calls each month between more than a dozen providers using STIR/SHAKEN technology and continues to lead the way on robocalling efforts for the industry.”
