David & David show you how to block spam calls on an iPhone. U.S. consumers received nearly 4 billion robocalls per month in 2020. In spite of the FCC's push to combat robocalls and spoofing, it's still a major problem — and headache — for practically everyone with a phone number.

There are a couple iPhone settings you can turn on to cut down on spam calls. The first is Silence Unknown Callers, which sends calls to voicemail if they aren't from your contacts, recent outgoing calls, or Siri Suggestions. Some carriers also give you the option to Silence Junk Callers if your carrier detects the call as potential spam or fraud.

You can also add your phone number to the Do Not Call Registry. This will help stop spam calls on your iPhone, but be warned — not every call center will honor this.

Add your phone number to the Do Not Call Registry: https://www.donotcall.gov

There are several spam blocking apps you can install to stop iPhone spam calls. While you could install a thirdparty app from your carrier, we recommend trying a free app from the iPhone App Store first. Wireless carriers are great at nickelanddiming you. They may make you pay a monthly fee for features included for free with a robocallblocking app.
