Here's how to end work calls on your iPhone once and for all

There is even a law that regulates unwanted calls. However, we keep getting them and in addition to being heavy, they are even dangerous if we think of scams like “Indeed Human Resources”. And although iOS 18.2 brought new options to combat this scourge, we continue to receive them.

Since giving up should be the last thing and those who call us don't, we'll tell you what to do. best techniques to prevent unwanted sales calls from reaching us. To do this, we have already told you that there are applications in the App Store that do it very well.

Block numbers you know are spam

The first step to take, especially if you receive repeated calls from multiple numbers, is to block these numbers on iPhone. This way, even if these numbers continue to call you, you won't know it and you can be calmer. Follow these steps to block a contact:

1. Open the Phone app and go to the “Recents” section.
2. Locate the business number and click the “i” button to the right of it.
3. In the tab that appears, click “Block this contact”.
4. Confirm the block by clicking on 'Block contact' again.

Use apps that detect unwanted calls

There are apps that are able to show you on screen whether they are commercial or not, before you have to pick up. These spam detection apps can be a plus in extreme cases. Of course, we warn you that although they are free to download, some require a subscription to benefit from their more advanced options (unfortunately, there are no useful applications that are 100% free):

Take advantage of WhatsApp to find out if a number is commercial or not

One last trick you can use is support you on WhatsApp. As in USA it is a service that everyone uses, private phone numbers will be linked to a profile photo and a name. So something you can do is add this number to your phone book and check this profile via WhatsApp. Especially useful if you receive calls from this number that no one answers.

If you prefer not to add this number to your phone book, another alternative you can do is type the following URL into your browser replacing XXXXXXXXX with the telephone number:

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=34xxxxxxxxx

This will open the WhatsApp interface (on iPhone or Mac) to write a message to this number. From there you can also view their profile.
