Does Call Forwarding take precedence over Silence Unknown Callers?

If both Call Forwarding and Silence Unknown Callers are enabled, does Call Forwarding take precedence? In other words, do all calls get forwarded, or only those from known callers, with the rest going to my iPhone's voicemail?

iPhone XS, iOS 14

If you're talking about the carrier all forwarding service, then yes. Call forwarding will kick in at the network level. Silence unknown callers happens on the phone. Since the call is being routed to a different number, it will not be silenced on that number unless you have a similar silence unknown callers on the device that ultimately receives the call.
