6 Hacks To Stop iPhone Spam Calls - Scammers Hate #4!
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 19. 05. 2024
- 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: www.donotcall.gov
There are several spam blocking apps you can install to stop iPhone spam calls. While you could install a third-party app from your carrier, we recommend trying a free app from the iPhone App Store first. Wireless carriers are great at nickel-and-diming you. They may make you pay a monthly fee for features included for free with a robocall-blocking app.

We have a brand NEW spam prevention video OUT NOW:

I am not clinking on any links .
Simply, I donât answer my phone unless I absolutely know whoâs calling. If itâs important they will leave a message. If itâs spam I block the number.
I do the same thing.
Same and my phone is literally on dnd all the time however this one spam company keeps calling and it's annoying asl đ©
I get the same spam from the same company using all different numbers 10-15 messages a day. Always the same message.
Same. I tried to get my mother to do this but she just couldnât do it.
Probably the best approach. Wait for the voicemail.
Verrrry informative. The guys give a straightforward yet thorough discussion of spamming and what we can do about it. Thank you and Happy Birthday David!
I couldn't have been angrier than when I got a spoof call from MY KID'S SCHOOL per caller ID, which every parent fears that mid-day school call, dropping anything you're doing immediately... I screamed at that person with a fury. I hope they were able to find a different job.
Frankly, I think the phone companies are in cahoots with these spammers. When I was driving rigs cross county I would get multiple spam calls a day from the area code that I was currently located. So either the phones companies allow this nonsense or the spammers have hacked into the cell towers all over the country.
The spammers could be tracking your location from overseas.
Yes, the phone companies are in cahoots with the robocallers and scammers. Somehow they make money every time a new calling number is issued. Which explains why they make it difficult to block these calls.
phone companies make millions on phone line usage they don't care who uses them for what
Iâm a trucker and this happens to me everyday
Agreed. Phone companies sell local area numbers in huge bundles to these spammers. Then turn around and warn us about spam calls. Quite a PR spin. This also explains why they are constantly adding new prefix numbers to your local area.
Then take a close look at your bill. Loaded with taxes as big brother cashes in.
The problem with adding doctors, hospitals, ect to your contacts is that they all have 100+ different numbers they can be calling from. So thatâs virtually impossible to do.
Good call. Most large organizations like hospitals use voip, and when they pick up a phone to make a call, the system finds an available line to call from. So, a nurse could call you from her desk phone 3 times and the caller id would have 3 different numbers.
This! At my dentist alone, the clerk texted me as I was still in talking to them about rescheduling an appointment, and the number I got the text from was not the main one my dentist uses. Instead the number they used is the one they use to follow up when it comes time to confirm appointments.
And my doctor calls from a private or unknown number because he does not want patients to be able to call him back on his own private cell phone number. So, unfortunately, the only thing I can do is answer every call and as soon as I figure out it is a spam caller, hang up on them and block their number.
Thanks guys!! Happy Birthday Davidđ. This was very helpful and just what I needed to silence the 30 plus calls Iâve been getting this week.
Thanks for all the other tips you all have given. Nice finding out all of the settings you can change to help your phone be more secure and more productive. đđđ»
Happy Birthday to you David!!!!
Thank you bothâŠ. I try to watch everything you are so kind to share with us! You have helped someone who lives on a very small pensionâŠ. Bless you both!
Iâll normally scream my favorite profanities when a scammer calls about my car warranty or other fake crap they call about. I find it extremely satisfying.
Thanks! My wife & I have gotten a great deal of help from watching your videos. Keep up the good work, And the channel!
Happy Birthday David!! Thank you both for all you do. Love your channel!
Newbie here! I need a lot of help on how to use my i phone, and your channel seems to help me in that regard, which Apple tech support wonât tell you how these things work. And showing steps in details. Thanks!
What is your experience with scam callers? Let us know in the comments below! If you found this video helpful, be sure to share it with your friends and subscribe for more videos like this! Thanks for watching!
My experience is only negative. Numerous spam calls in the morning, afternoon and night. Too bad we cannot have nice things because there are groups of people who try to profit off spam calls.
How about if you don't have an Iphone?
Iâm a dinosaur who still uses a landline which attracts robocalls + telemarketers + other ;) calls so I answer unknown callers withâCrystal speaking. How can I help you today?â, which gets no response or a hang up. Thatâs when my cordless is handy to prevent my answering machine getting loaded, since it only has the generic message which usually gets same response but not as often. Hope this is as helpful for others as itâs been for me. Good luck! They ARE annoying but not as often since I thought to answer this way so figured Iâd share.
I received 43 calls last sunday and 15 calls the week before all on my house phone. I am on the Do Not Call Registry and my carrier for my landline has partnered with Nomorobo which I have both my home and cell registered with and yet I received 43 calls on my house phone. How do I make it stop? I've reported all of these calls and blocked as many as I can but like you guys said they keep switching up numbers. They even called me using my own home number!! I have Verizon for my cell but my cell is old; I have an iphone5s so where would I find these features on my cell phone? Since the majority of these calls comes through my home number, how do I stop them because it doesn't seem like nomorobo is working. Thanks your channel just popped up in my recommended list and I'm so desparate for help on how to stop these calls.
I have tried everything but nothing works. I won't answer any calls unless I know who it is because I feel like it is only validating my number for selling etc. I even filed complaints for a couple of years and nothing works. Sorry, but you can't tell me that our communications industry can't control this. We sent a man to the moon 50+ years ago, but we can't stop spam/scam. This country is becoming very disappointing with all of the social issues that never seem to be resolved. Sorry, for the rant, frustrated.
Appreciate you both so much for keeping us informed and helping us fight this junk!
thank you guys for helping us block spam calls because I have had many spam calls and have tried this method and I haven't got any scam calls since so thanks!
Happy Birthday David!!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Love your guysâs channel!
Happy Birthday, David! I like the clear advice you guys offer, and with a bit of humor in it. Keep us informed!
He looked pained, and actually always looks uncomfortable and unnatural on cameraâŠunlike the other David.
Thank you so much for all the information you provide! I really appreciate it!
Happy birthday đđđ„ł David!! May your day be filled with happiness and no spam calls.
Thanks a lot guys ... your info is extremely helpful because you don't just say do this and this, you take the time to explain it slowly and carefully for the rest of us that just never seem to have the time it takes to stay on top of this "stuff". (and if you're thinking that that was one hell of a long sentence, your right!)
Cheers Mates!!
You guys help me so much. I am not technically inclined and need help often and get frustrated. I canât fix my iPhone when I run into issues or need to do something like this video. Iâm so happy I found you guys. I subscribed immediately! Thanks!! Youâre both awesome!! â€ïžđđŒđđ±
We're glad we could help!

I use this feature and it helps a lot. My doctors and all my businesses are in my contacts so I know whoâs calling who is not.
Happy birthday David, wish you all best wishes, awesome information, thank you for sharing, have a blessed day. Greetings from Orlando Florida
I just love this Payett I originally learned Microsoft at my place of work when in upper management. So I thought Microsoft was all there was. Then my nephew many years later asked me why I didnât use Apple. I said I knew nothing about Apple & then a whole new learning curve again ensued. Then when I went to his home, he had Microsoft & Apple on another computer. He explained that Microsoft was what businesses mainly used.
Anyway, as I fumbled my way through, learning Apple, I found it much more intuitive & much better in my retirement years. I use my IPHONE, for most everything & rarely use my MacBook Air. I wasnât born with a computer in my mouth. So you guys have filled in many blind spots. Thank you. đđ
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the great tips. And I love your light, humorous way of presenting information.
Spam call software usually doesn't usually allow the spammer to enter dial tones. I would really like a type of auto attendant that would ask the caller to enter a number to proceed otherwise it will go to voice mail. Not sure if Apple IOS can support this, but it would make identifying robocalls MUCH easier.
I have had many calls that are almost exactly like friends and numbers that I know and like you said they are off by the last number, that shows me that it knows my numbers in my file.
I just changed the servers & started to receive unknown callers. I forgot how I set up to stop unknown callers, so glad to find your video, thank you.
As an older un tech savvy person I love your vids. Have learned so much thanks!đđ
Iv used silence unknown calls and unknown numbers for over a year now. It works brilliantly, until you are expecting a call that is not on your phone and you donât get it. Turning off the silence feature temporarily doesnât help, because having to leave it off till the wanted call comes through, spammers can call. And trust me itâs like they know itâs off đ€ŠđŒââïž.
Overall that feature works brilliantly.
Thank you, guys. I talked at length with a former AT&T supervisor. Important to understand that these âcallsâ are digital (computer) and not placed from telephones
Happy Birthday David! đđ„ł You guys are awesome đđ€
Thank you! You both are clear and concise and donât ramble on đ. Great information!
âCall controlâ is a feature offered by some phone providers. Works perfectly.
Happy Birthday, David. First time watching your video, thanks for all the info.
Happy Birthday dear David , many many happy returns for more years to comeđđâ€
You guys are great! I appreciate your clear explanations at just the right speed - and with great charisma! Always informative and enjoyable to watch.
Love these guys, so informative, so straight to the point & both very funny đđđđŻđŻđŻđđđ
We love you too, JJ!
Happy birthday and congrats for your wonderful channel with so much useful information!
Thank you both sooo much for this one!
Happy Birthday David!đđđ Thank you both for your great tips!â€
I notice that you did not mention that when you block unknown callers the calls go to voicemail. My voicemail message explains this and I ask people that really have business with me to leave a message and I will call them back. I find that the scammers rarely leave a message and that way I can call important calls back.
Thank you so much for this! Because I kept my number, when I moved out of state, I know when Iâm getting spam calls. The unfortunate thing, is that itâs from an earlier time zone. đ Iâve been blocking the numbers, but as youâve said, theyâre like Hydra.
Thank you, I appreciate you getting right to the point. The spam was getting so overwhelming.
Only one feature of this video is helpful for those of us in the U.K where none of these carriers exist, but no matter thanks gents and happy Birthday, David
Can you do anything on spam texts please. I get more of these than calls now. Thank you for a great video đ
Text STOP.
Yah right đ
Thanks, David and David!
The AT&T app will show a call being from a telemarketer, but you have to upgrade to block those. I have nothing nice to say about THAT.
yes, while our communication companies won't deal with this (and I think they can) we the consumer have to pay extra to deal with a service that is illegal for the majority of time. Something doesn't feel right.
AT&T was recently breached exposing millions of customers.
This was so helpful . I have an important call coming and I wanted to be able to except it, now I can. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much! I got 12 spam calls today. I registered for National Do Not Call, but in vain. So I tapped both Silence Unknown Callers & Call Blocking & Identification. I will see how it goes. Thank you, and happy belated birthday, David!
How did it go?
How is it going? Did it work?
Problem with blocking all robocalls is it often also stops autodial calls from needed numbers, like doctor offices and such.
FCC should do something about Indian's scam callers.. they become aggressive and won't stop calling regardless the time of the day...
Thank you for all the help guys and Happy Birthday Dave.
For UK user regarding Do Not Call Registry. Ours is called The Telephone Preference Service (TPS). It works the same way.
This is all well and good, but I have Android. What about us?? I can't afford extra spam blocking and what is provided free really doesn't seem to stop calls some days. I'll get the same call, recorded message/voice from different numbers maybe 5-6 times. You're correct, blocking the call really does nothing!
I love RoboKiller, I was getting at least 10 fake calls daily. I use my phone for work so it was really terrible. Also the spam/scam texts have stopped coming in; these were increasing daily at all hours! I donât mind paying for something that gives me peace.
ROBO-KILLER is awesome! I love it! Totally worth it!!!!
Happy Birthday David! I always get a lot out of your videos.
Happy Birthday David, I love you Guys. Youâve helped this old lady. Thank You so very much
Thanks for saying so - but I don't see any old ladies around here! :)
@@PayetteForward
Thank you so much
Here in China not only our phones already block spammers and scams by default but also the police keeps updating those numbers..
Also from time to time the police of your city keeps sending messages and warning for people to remember to not give any money whatsoever to strange numbers asking for it.
Fellow expat in China, hello! how can i install didi on a new iphone? i searched news within China that says that Didi was taken off the app markets in 2021 (for regulations reason) - if you got a new iphone, how can you workaround that? i still have Didi in my Android, but i want to switch phones now...and as we all know here in the middle kingdom, the english didi interface is a 1000% MUST app
Iâm having a problem with receiving scam type text messages- itâs almost like the spam emails I used to get are now coming through via my text message. Thereâs no way to really figure out who these people are and how to stop them from sending these text messages- Any suggestions?
Same question here!
My friend told me you have to call your provider and request they block such messages. I havenât tried it. I get scam messages as well. They will text like 20 random numbers and itâs coming from an email.
Report these texts to âspamâ (7726) on Verizon. I copy the text, send to 7726. Then I copy the phone number and send to the same number. Although the phone number is usually spoofed, itâs a data point for the carrier.
@@flowerbomb2765 While I agree, I find that I spend a lot of time on hold along with my time to stop the nonsense. so much to deal with. I agree that our communications industries aren't doing enough and must be profiting from most of it.
Do you have Verizon? Make a copy of the spam texts and send it to 7726
You guys are the best! Happy Birthday David!!!
I just love it when I get a phone call from my own number. đ
When will Apple learn how to set up their email app to deal with spam. I canât even see the email address itâs being sent from much less mark it as spam. Also, where is the button to clear the spam folder. Maybe itâs the way I have it set up, but Iâve gotten used to looking at my mail on a windows pc.
Thank you for the information. I received 7 robocalls in a row while watching your video.
Incredible timing. At 6:21 Just as you were about to introduce an app, a commercial popped up for just such an app.... I almost paid attention to a commercial !!!
Love if you tell us about spam texts please!
HBD! Also mad congratulations on getting to a million. Well deserved with all the useful content and terrific hosting.
Thank you for this video. I received 26 freaken spam calls today, 26! I usually just leave my phone on do not disturb then go back to missed spam calls and block them. I literally have hundreds if not thousands of blocked numbers and now they are coming in every few minutes. I hate having to explain to people who call me why my phone is always on do not disturb and I need to call them back.
Thanks a bunch. Just got rid of my Sam sung phone and got my new iPhone. Hopefully I wonât get so many junk calls any longer. You guys ârockâ!!!!!
You guys are awesome! Hopefully CZcams will fix its accessibility issues with the like buttons not displaying and I can give this an official like at a later date. Until then, accept this as both my "like" and also a warm happy birthday to David.
Thatâs weird, if you were VoiceOver use that as I am I could like this video quite easily but I know what you mean some videos you cannot get to the âlike, dislike, save to playlistsâ etc
@@aob4214 Yes. hardly any videos lately allow me to get to like or share or playlist options lately using Voiceover.
Thanks again Davidâs! Good to know what apps you recommend to try and control spam calls! Happy birthday David!!!
Thank you! Happy Birthday David!
THIS REALLY HELP ME ive been getting to many recent spam calls because i bought an iphone 14 and spam calls is really annoying
Unfortunately my iPhone doesn't have Silence Junk Callersđđđ
The best thing to do is to engage the spam callers as much as possible. Press the option to talk to the "Specialist" or "salesman" or whatever they call the spammer, then when he asks you for your Vehicle ID for the warranty, tell him to please hold while you go get the Vehicle ID. Just put the phone down and let him wait, he'll wait about 5 or 10 minutes or more, and if you can keep them waiting, they can't spam as many people. Keep them on the line as long as possible, if 1000 people do that, you have waisted about 500 hours of their time, which costs them thousands of dollars. Everybody should do that, and that will stop them.
People who have jobs and families don't have time for that
You have to be careful when you answer a spam call. With the use of robo dialers, they are just making blanket calls. When I worked on the telecom field we called it dialing for dollars. I used to work for AT&T and my local Bell company. Once you pick up the phone and answer the call you confirm that itâs a good number to use. You may then start receiving more calls in the hopes of finally getting you to pick up the phone and engage with their agents.
No itâs definitely easier to just ignore unknown numbers.
The best thing to do is not answer, and if you do hang up, pressing options could caused you to agree or sign up to something youâre not aware of. causing charges on your phone billđ€·đœââïž the more you answer the more they will call.
Happy Birthday :: tomorrow :: dark-haired David. You all are too cute and your videos are SO HELPFUL! Cheers
I am getting about 7 calls a day trying to sell me that car warranty and I took some of your advice on this video, I sure hope it helps!!
Iâm starting to think that these spam calls are originated from your cell phone carrier in an attempt to get you to purchase their spam call blocker.
How to block spam text?
Working on it!
Not just calls but texts also. Thanks for the tips.
Great information. Thank you. You made it easy to set this up and stop annoying Robo calls!
I have the best spam blocker in the world! I donât answer the phone unless itâs someone I know! How perfect is that?
Perfect! Roger, roger!
Happy Birthday David!!!
Thanks for all you both do for us!!!
Enjoy your day tomorrow!!!
Tks guys!!!! Happy bday David!!!đđ»đ
In the UK we use Telephone Preference Service (TPS) where you can set your number as one not to be sold or called randomly.
There ARE penalties if a company breaches this. I also have a contact called âTPSâ (which is blocked on my device) and I add all scam numbers to it using add caller details
Has anyone else found spam-texts on the rise?
Hey guys, have you done a giveaway for Davidâs birthday? Or have you been hacked?
Iâve been told I won an iPhone, but something feels off
DAVID please note, you were hacked. I have screen caps from someone saying they were you guys, giving away a iPhone 13 Pro Max as a member appreciation. I almost sent 100. to cover shipping! Dude kept calling me, a girl with a girls name, buddy. Can you please let me know how to send you the screen caps
This is crazy! This person is demanding 100.
Was anyone else contacted?
I followed their instructions and it silenced all calls including those who were in my address not just junk calls. Be careful.
Happy Birthday David, and many decades of happy returns.
Do you work for the IRS?
Thanks for the info, happy birthday. Fun facts, my house phone can block up to 150 numbers once I used up all blocks I had to cancel home number.
Happy bday David! Yeah! Another Bull đ
Thank you guys for your tips, great channel đ
Thanks so much, Jessica!
Great information, thanks for sharing ... just found the spam filter adjustments from my carrier.
Thanks for your videos and HBD David! đ„ł
Dear Sirs, Iâm starting to get text messages from these sites, is there anything I can do to remove/block this type of spammers
I've been getting these texts too! It's so annoying. They find every way to invade our privacy.
Same with ads all over social meadow sites on my iPad. No 3rd party app can block them. Talk about invading your privacy.
I have to buy an app to do what AT&T should do because they are already paid; BS
Happy Belated Birthday, David! đđđđŸ
I always learn something beneficial on your videos. Thanks for the info!
I actually got a call showing my own number!! That was freaky.
A friend of mine told me that her and her husband were sound asleep when their cell phone rang. When they answered it, it originated from the landline inside their home! The only landline phone was downstairs. Someone was calling them from inside their home!! Every slasher movie flashed through their mind!! đ±đ±.
It turned out to be one of those scammers calling them using their landline number. đđ
not having a phone BLOCKS scam callers FOREVER....
Can't argue with that!
thank you very much ! happy birthday David!
Happy birthday David and thanks for the info.
Carriers should be forced to stop the Phoofers, all phones have an address, if it does not match the recorded phone number do not allow the call.
There is a legitimate reason that call spoofing exists. For example, during COVID lockdown, some people who perform customer service for a company would have been working from home - any calls they made on behalf of their employer would look best if the caller ID displayed their employer as the caller.
But once you open the door for something legitimate, abuse of that capability is bound to emerge.
Since it appears the bulk of theses robocalls originate from countries other than the USA, one would think the FCC could do a better job of preventing those abusers from getting through to the phone network in the USA.
What about spam and marketing text messages? I have blocked more than 50 and counting from fashion retail companies, to restaurant chains, to dental clinics bla bla bla ⊠đĄ
