Nothing pisses me off like spam or unknown calls that have nothing to do with my job (or whatever I do). They come on suddenly, distract you, and make you scratch your head. While there are all kinds of ways and means to block unwanted calls, a native call blocking tool for iOS has been on my wish list for a long time. It looks like Apple has finally introduced a better way to automatically mute unknown and unwanted calls on iPhone in iOS 13. In this article, we will show you how you can enable this feature.
