Unable to block spam/unknown calls; tried all methods

Hello,

I’m unable to block the “Spam Likely” calls I’m constantly receiving along with any other unknown or unfamiliar number I receive. I’m also unable to block them through the voicemail option, I also tried saving the contact and then blocking them that way all to no avail…please help it’s been weeks and my call history is overloaded with them because I don’t want to delete the calls until I’m able to block them.


I’ve also tried everything—all the suggestions I’ve read in past threads regarding this issue and the problem remains…:(

We can't guess what "all the suggestions" are you've tried. Are you using the new call screening options, which arrived with iOS 26? The one which requires a callers to state the reason for calling is quite affective. See this --> Screen and block calls on iPhone - Apple Support


Your phone should be updated to the current iOS 26.5.2 version.
