I don't know if it's available to all Android users, but the automatic spam detection and manual call screening has been extremely effective at reducing the amount of robocalls I answer.

by "automatic spam detection" do you mean sending the incoming caller details to a 3rd party server for analysis? That was an option on my device, but after reading the T&C and privacy policy, I opted not to use that service.

My carrier does, however, mark a lot of calls as "Scam likely" which has been very helpful.

What model do you have? I don't believe I have that feature on my XZ1C.

I have it on my Pixel 2. It seems to help a lot.
