Tired of Political Campaign Calls? Try This iPhone Trick - CNET

It’s election season, and that means political campaigns are trying to contact folks about their candidate or political issue. While they’re well-meaning, these calls can be annoying if you’ve already voted by mail or have made up your mind about who to vote for. Luckily, if you keep your iPhone updated to the most recent iOS version, you can enable call screening on your device.

Apple introduced call screening in iOS 26. It isn’t an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 27-compatible iPhone, such as the iPhone 14 Pro, can use it. I enabled the feature over a year ago and my iPhone has diligently held back spam calls, like the Hoover Dam, ever since. But you have to enable it first.

Here’s how to enable call screening in a few easy steps and what to know about the new feature.
