Both systems allow you to block calls from unknown and hidden numbers, but while the Google also has a spam call filterApple's depends on installing a third-party app like TrueCaller to identify and block these types of calls. Now we have known a new feature for the Phone app that improves Android's anti-spam protection.
Android anti-spam call filter is quite effective, but just because it doesn't jump with a number you don't know doesn't mean you can automatically take it for granted. If the call reaches your company number, the logical thing is to return it. But if it is the personal number and knowing the abundant spam calls that reach individuals, not to mention scams, you may think about whether to do it. Or what you do an internet search to see if it is a number that has been reported by other users on websites such as Listspam.
