iOS 26 Call Screening not working

That's not the way it works. The caller is asked for their name and the reason for their call. If they give it, you have the option of taking the call. So far, the robocallers can't seem to respond and the call just ends.

Is this feature completely broken now? Call's not accepted by me should be going straight to voicemail and not ringing, and with the first version it did, but updates broke this feature.

You can still have that if you want. Settings>Apps>Phone>Screen Unknown Caller>Silence.

I'm also having trouble with the "ask reason for calling" feature. Lets through 3-5 calls daily of bots trying to give me a "loan for my business." They seem to be able to get through the screening feature.

I am also having calls routed to voicemail when I have the call-screening activated.

iOS 26.0

iPhone 17 Pro

It’s not working and never has for me either. I’ve tried all the recommendations. Even called Apple and they didn’t know what was going on. No solution provided. It’s really frustrating.

I am using 16 pro max.

Version- 26.0.1

Unknown callers are not getting screened for me too. On my wife’s phone , her having the same model , it is working pretty well

Same thing here for Canada. 16 Pro Max on 26.0.1 call screening isn’t working.

This doesn’t work. The robo caller just starts leaving their message and Siri thinks they’re responding so it lets it go through to voicemail and doesn’t completely block the caller as spam.

The lastest version of iOS that the iPhone 7 supports is iOS 15.8.6. What version are you currently running?

It worked for me when I switched the main iPhone language to Spanish and selected "Solicitar motivo de la llamada".

It appears to only work if you set up the iPhone main language to spanish. I normally use my phone in english. But the screening only appeared when I switched the main language to spanish.

I hope Apple adds the ability to configure the screening language independently of the iPhone main language.

On the original iOS 26 it seemed to work and then once I updated to iOS 26.0.1 spam calls just began ringing as normal. I actually had to turn on the silence option so now spam callers just automatically get sent to voicemail but I did like the ask reason for calling.
