You\u2019re minding your own business when your iPhone vibrates in your pocket. You pull it out, curious as to who\u2019s calling, but don\u2019t recognize the number. You may notice that it\u2019s in the same exchange as your phone number, suggesting that it\u2019s a neighbor. But no. When you answer, it\u2019s \u201cHeather,\u201d a pre-recorded voice wanting to sign you up for a resort vacation, give your business a loan, or help with your credit card debt. Angered by the intrusion, you tap the red hangup button, wishing you had an old-style telephone receiver to slam down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">There\u2019s no way to retaliate against these scum-sucking bottom feeders, and the best option is to hang up immediately. For quite a few versions of iOS, you\u2019ve been able to block a caller manually\u2014just tap the i button next to the call in the Recents screen in the Phone app, scroll to the bottom, and tap Block This Caller. But that\u2019s seldom worth doing since telemarketers often spoof the numbers they call from, so it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019d get a second call from the same number.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Instead, I recommend taking advantage of a feature Apple introduced in iOS 10 that enables apps to block calls for you. Quite a few of these apps have appeared, with some of the best reviewed being\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/nomorobo\/id1134727588?mt=8\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Nomoro<\/a>,<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/hiya-caller-id-and-block\/id986999874?mt=8\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Hiya<\/a><span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/mr.-number-call-block-reverse\/id1047334922?mt=8\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Mr. Number<\/a><span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/robokiller-stop-spam-calls\/id1022831885?mt=8\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">RoboKiller<\/a><span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">, and\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/truecaller\/id448142450?mt=8\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2ea3f2; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">Truecaller<\/a><span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">. Hiya and Mr. Number are both free and from the same company\u2014Mr. Number is a stripped-down version of Hiya\u2014whereas RoboKiller and Truecaller require an in-app purchase for a monthly membership. I, personally use Nomorobo, and have for both my home phone, and IOS phone. If your on AT&amp;T you can also get &#8220;Call Protect&#8221; which is free and actually an AT&amp;T branded version of Hiya.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">In general, these apps work by receiving caller ID information from iOS and comparing it against both your local contacts (to identify good calls) and a constantly updated database of numbers used by telemarketers (bad calls). Calls from your contacts ring through normally, as do calls from phone numbers not in either of those sets. That\u2019s key, since your doctor might call back from a secondary number, or your kid\u2019s new teacher might call to talk about an upcoming snack day. But if you receive a call from a number known to be used by a telemarketer, the app can either identify it on the incoming call screen or block it automatically, sending it to voicemail.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">To enable one of these apps, after you download it from the App Store, go to Settings &gt; Phone &gt; Call Blocking &amp; Identification and enable its switch. You\u2019ll probably also have to do some setup in the app itself, providing your phone number, perhaps creating an account, and determining what should happen with different calls (Mr. Number is shown below, right).<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5817\" data-attachment-id=\"5817\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-960x1024.png\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-281x300.png\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number.png\" data-orig-size=\"2286,2438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/block-telemarketing-calls-automatically-on-your-iphone\/blocking-call-settings-mr-number\/\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-960x1024.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-960x1024.png 960w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-768x819.png 768w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Call-Settings-Mr-Number-1080x1152.png 1080w\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"640\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">With Hiya and Mr. Number, you can copy a number from the Phone app\u2019s Recents screen (tap the i button for a call, and then press the number to access a Copy button) and then look it up to learn more and see comments other users have made. And if you get a telemarketing call from a number that the app doesn\u2019t recognize, you can submit it to protect others.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5818\" data-attachment-id=\"5818\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-960x1024.png\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-281x300.png\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer.png\" data-orig-size=\"2286,2438\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/block-telemarketing-calls-automatically-on-your-iphone\/blocking-recent-calls-telemarketer\/\" height=\"683\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-960x1024.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-960x1024.png 960w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-768x819.png 768w, https:\/\/tcn.tidbits.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Blocking-Recent-Calls-Telemarketer-1080x1152.png 1080w\" style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\" width=\"640\"\/><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">RoboKiller claims that it wastes the telemarketers\u2019 time by playing pre-recorded \u201cAnswer Bots\u201d conversations to keep them on the line, preventing them from calling more people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;\">Details vary by app, but the only real downside to using one of these apps is that it may ask for information about you or your contacts to improve its services.

If you\u2019re lucky and get only one or two per month, it\u2019s probably not worth messing with a call blocking app\u2014maybe just send unidentified (and unexpected) calls to voicemail. But if you\u2019re interrupted by multiple junk calls per day or week, give one of these apps a try and let it reduce the onslaught.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\/>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Junk calls are one of the great annoyances of the modern world.
