So my default app for phonecalls doesn’t have spam filter or any info on callers. I downloaded truecaller, but it has a lot of ads. Ive been getting a lot more spam calls lately and i want to get a good app to separate important stuff from useless spam what do you recommend?

Also what are your funny stories messing with spam callers?

    My Pixel 7 has a call screening function. It asks the caller to identify themselves and why they are calling and shows the dialogue on the screen. Very cool.

    I’ve been pretty happy with the Samsung one tbh. It’s been good at catching spam.

    I use Silence, but I’ve also heard good things about Yet Another Call Blocker. Both Android apps that are not dialers, but call filters to stop spam.

    I honestly just switched to denying all calls automatically from anyone not in my contacts a long time ago. If anyone who isn’t in my contacts needs to reach me, they’ll follow up with an email or text.
