[NFB-Seniors] IPhone - a new feature in IOS 13 - Stop those unknown callers from being able to bother you!

[Robert Leslie Newman]

A new great feature in IOS 13! It is called, Silence Unknown Callers

 

There is a feature in the new IOS 13 iPhone OS update:  Silence Unknown
Callers.  

 

How Does It Work?

 

Calls from unknown numbers are silenced and sent to your voicemail and will
appear in your recent calls list .

 

Incoming calls will come through from people that are saved in your contacts
list, recent calls list, and from Siri Suggestions to let you know who's
calling based on phone numbers included in your emails or text messages.

 

If an emergency call is placed, Silence Unknown Callers will be temporarily
disabled for the next 24 hours to allow for your iPhone to be reached.

 

To turn on Silence Unknown Callers, go to Settings > Phone, scroll down,
then select Silence Unknown Callers.

 

Yes, you will periodically need to go into your voice mail and monitor what
has been sent there; clean out the junk, and maybe return a call to someone
new!

 

Respectfully yours,
