I don't get why other phones don't do this. Is it complicated? I think it just plays a recorded voice greeting. It's simpler than a answering machine. There is no fancy AI or anything like that.

> Call Assist answers the call and asks who's calling and why
I have one from Verizon since they are my carrier. For free it does an amazing job blocking spam calls. If I was willing to pay (I’m not) it would tell me what kind of spam call it is.
Not worth the price.
I still don’t answer calls unless they’re in my address book or I’m expecting one. But I get very very few calls anyway thanks to the app.
And they are allowed to leave voicemails, which they never do. Real callers do if I get an unexpected genuine call.
Add in the features iOS has had in the last few releases to be able to see transcriptions of voicemails, now live as they’re being left, and most of the hassle is gone.
The spammers trained everyone to stop answering. I shouldn’t have to do any of this. But it’s better than it was a few years ago.
Text is the new spam hell for me.
Never saw that
I think iOS 17 (last September) was when they added live transcription as it was being left in the lock screen if you press the icon to see it.
Or maybe it was 18 this September.
If you meant the Pixel feature then there are probably lots of videos and posts covering it.
I thought you meant you could do that on your OG 3310 so I was curious.
