Turn on iPhone's built-in scam screening in iOS 26 to block unknown calls

Apple’s iOS 26 adds a built-in, Siri-powered call-screening feature that acts as a bouncer for unknown numbers. After updating to iOS 26, go to Settings > Phone > Screen Unknown Callers and choose Never, Ask Reason for Calling, or Silence; the tool lets Siri ask why the caller is calling and can show a transcription of the call so you can decide to answer or ignore. FTC’s Do Not Call List can also help; the feature is designed to reduce robocalls without requiring third‑party apps.

Safari bug muddles iOS 26 adoption reports

A Mashable analysis argues that the supposed iOS 26 backlash may be overstated because Statcounter’s adoption numbers are distorted by a Safari bug that makes iPhones report they’re on iOS 18.7. Most users are still on iOS 18, and the industry is awaiting a fix (likely in iOS 26.3) before the true upgrade rate is known. The piece notes existing discontent with iOS 26 and Liquid Glass but emphasizes that the numbers may be misleading due to the Safari reporting issue.

Users can enable this feature in settings and choose from other options like silencing unknown calls or allowing all calls to ring through. This upgrade enhances call screening and user control over unknown callers.

iOS 26 Adoption Slows Down Significantly Months After Launch

Despite being available for nearly four months, iOS 26 adoption remains low, with most users still on iOS 18, according to Statcounter data, though TelemetryDeck reports higher adoption rates. The discrepancy may be due to different tracking methodologies, but overall, the data suggests users are hesitant to upgrade, possibly due to concerns about battery life or other features.
