Apple is borrowing a page from Android's playbook to fight spam calls.
- Apple is rolling out “Call Screening” with iOS 26.
- Call Screening gathers information from the caller and gives you the details to help you decide whether to answer the call.
- A “Hold Assist” feature is also coming.
It’s not uncommon for Apple to take inspiration from Android. Of course, this happens the other way around as well. The latest instance of this comes in the form of Call Screening with iOS 26.
During its WWDC event, Apple revealed that iPhone users will soon get a feature to help them determine if they should answer a call. Called “Call Screening,” this feature will be a part of iOS 26. As the Cupertino firm explained, Call Screening will gather information from the caller and present those details to you, so you can decide to ignore or answer.
