There are even hackers that steal the bank identity to steal your personal data. Manually searching for numbers does not <strong>prevent a spam or scam call<\/strong>. However, the mobile phone antispam filter is very efficient for blocking unknown numbers. The only disadvantage is that it may block important unknown numbers too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/spam-scam-call-filter.webp\" alt=\"How to avoid a spam or scam call\" class=\"wp-image-174140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/spam-scam-call-filter.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/spam-scam-call-filter-600x282.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/spam-scam-call-filter-1024x480.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/spam-scam-call-filter-768x360.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips to detect spam or scam calls in Android and iOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, <strong>almost any Smartphone brand integrates spam call filters<\/strong> to detect and block numbers once identified. Most devices show a notification indicating that an incoming call was blocked. In order to prevent a scam or spam call Google uses Google My Business to identify enterprises that use the tool.&nbsp; The users will see the basic information of each enterprise and they can decide if picking up or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google My Business works automatically<\/strong> and it doesn\u2019t block numbers. The antispam filter has to be manually enabled by the user. This filter avoids commercial calls. The option can be activated in just a few seconds from the Phone app in Android phones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to More options pressing the three vertical dots button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Settings and then Assistive settings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tap Caller ID &amp; Spam and toogle See caller and spam ID and Filter spam calls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Android mobile devices will block any number that Google <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/173661\/how-to-avoid-spam-and-bothersome-messages-in-whatsapp.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">identifies as spam<\/a>. Users can also create a customized list with numbers manually input and identified as spam. Those new numbers will get blocked on future calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>Apple phones<\/strong> the feature is similar. You have to enable the Silence unknown numbers app. It\u2019s located inside Settings \u2013 Phone but some users prefer third party apps such as TrueCaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In TrueCaller the display of unknown numbers is similar to that used by Android<\/strong>. It\u2019s a great app that enables protection for your number from spam or scam call through call blocking measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unwanted commercial calls are forbidden by law.
