Spam calls remain a constant frustration for iPhone users, especially for people who keep their ringer on in case of emergencies. That can leave your phone open to repeated interruptions from robocalls and other unwanted numbers throughout the week.
The tip highlighted by CNET points to a simple iPhone feature that can help cut down those disruptions. Rather than turning your phone silent or relying only on outside apps, the built-in option is designed to limit calls from numbers you do not recognize.
In practice, that means familiar callers can still reach you while unknown numbers are less likely to disturb you. For many users, this offers a practical middle ground between staying available for urgent situations and avoiding the stress of constant spam calls.
The approach may not be perfect for every situation, since some legitimate calls can come from numbers not saved in your contacts. Still, for people worn out by robocalls, using an iPhone setting to screen or silence unfamiliar callers can be one of the easiest ways to reduce spam for the long term.
