[Electronics-Talk] nice ios innovation!

[Jude DaShiell]

I only discovered this one because I had occassion to block phone numbers. 
My procedure for blocking phone numbers works well for me in that I get 
the number that called and add it to my contacts and put the name 
Advertiser in the company name field, then I move down to block number and 
hit that to have that contact blocked.  Advertiser is lots easier to put 
in as a name than anything the scammers on the other end can think up to 
confuse matters.  What I wrote so far is just background.  In earlier 
versions of ios, when a call like that came in the advertiser could leave 
voicemail.  With the current ios running though, any call from a blocked 
number that leaves voicemail now just gets put in the blocked voicemails 
folder.  When you open the blocked voicemails folder you'll see a count of 
blocked messages and now at the top right of the screen there is a delete 
all blocked voicemail.  If you hit that button, those voicemails get put 
into your deleted folder.  This next thing I'm going to guess on.  I think 
deleted mail folder may now have a different behavior in that blocked 
voicemail messages that get put into deleted folder may be automatically 
cleared from deleted folder.  I'll find out when next I get a voicemail 
message I listen and then delete.  If it's the only one in the deleted 
folder my guess will have been correct otherwise it won't be that much 
effort to just clear all deleted messages.
