Start with me It’s a child, and when an unknown phone call is called, I despise the phone. Who can be on the other end? Literally, anyone: an acquaintance, a telecom salesman, a serial killer, who breathes violently into his mouthpiece.
When Apple is coming Liquid glass refresh In iOS 26, as it starts to roll out to the public on September 15, it is probably the most obvious aspect of this software update, I believe iOS 26 It may even have a greater impact on the way iPhone owners use their devices.
this iPhone Finally got call screening. Hallelujah. At launch, the feature will support calls from nine different languages, including English, Spanish and Japanese.
After the iPhone is updated to iOS 26, you can choose to enter and have the software automatically filter phones from unknown numbers. In this case, an unknown number is any phone number you have never interacted with before.
When your phone automatically answers the call The sound of the robot Ask the caller’s name and why you want to contact you. Only after the information is collected will the iPhone ring in the notification bubble and show you the details so that you can decide whether to answer or not.
When I tried to use the beta version of iOS 26, I was happy to see this new option. I often receive calls from many unknowns that I completely give up on opening calls for anyone not saved in the contact list.
With iOS 26 coming soon, I can make an informed decision to ignore or answer these calls. Although most calls will still be ignored, I no longer have to wait until the caller starts leaving voicemails, and there is a live transcription on the screen to make a decision.
Call filtering will be a new thing for iPhone owners this fall, but some users Android Smartphone, like Google’s Pixelsa version of this tool, called Call Screen, can be used for many years. Lyubov Farafonova, Google’s product manager, said in a statement emailed to Wired that millions of pixel users only use the feature in the United States. “This is one of our favorite features,” she said.
Since the call screening was released in 2018, Google has been working to make integrated voice sound more natural to enable incoming callers. While filtering, it also begins to display relevant replies as tapable options so that users can easily communicate with unknown callers without actually answering calls. Google plans to introduce this feature further, with call screening planned to launch to other markets this fall.
“Pixel 10 owners in India can start trying out the Beta version of the manual calling screen. This feature will initially run in English and Hindi and has more languages and dialects,” Farafonova said. “Not only to transcribe, it can also convert what the caller says into the call screen robot’s feature to make life easier for those who speak different languages than the caller.” The option for call filtering, manual or automatic options will soon reach pixel owners in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the UK.
