The simple iPhone thing to find out if a lost call is spam

They promised us that commercial calls were going to be considerably reduced, that spam would disappear through different techniques. They have been used little. The only thing that worked is a measure caused by Apple itself. It's always the same: A number calls you, this is not a hidden number and it looks like a mobile or fixed phone in your region. You decide to collect to see who it is, but when you answer, hang on. Or in the worst case, you try to sell a service which turns out to be a scam.

Given this, you have two options: you can block calls for unknown numbers, perhaps a too exhaustive measure that would eventually block calls from people who may not be interested in blocking. But there is A tip that can help you identify fraudulent calls on your iPhone.

Add the number to WhatsApp to “Chive” which is

If the number you have called is a mobile phone (or at least it seems), what you can do is Add this number as a new contact on WhatsApp. In this way, if you open a new conversation with this number, you can see in its profile if it has a particular name or that of a business. To add the contact, follow these steps:

1. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
2. Press the 'button'+“From the upper right corner.
3. Click on 'New contact'
4. Fill the contact details by adding only the number.
5. Click on 'Keep', As you can see in the following image:

If the contact has a name, WhatsApp can reveal it to us as soon as we open a new conversation with him and click on the title Chath. If we meet A strange name, which we do not know or the name of a companyThen the next step is to block this number.

Additional advice: if you receive calls, you answer and hang immediately, try not to answer it with a “yes?”. Say better “say?” Or “Tell me?”Since this “yes” can be saved and used in a false conversation in which you accept the hiring of a service.
