Apple to Release iPhone Update That Blocks Robocalls The feature is apart of the device's
iOS 13 software, which debuts
this September. To activate it, users must go
to the settings section
and select "phone." From there, they pick
"Silence Unknown Callers." This forces robocalls into voicemail, meaning your phone won't ring. There is a drawback if you are expecting
an important call as the feature
blocks all unknown numbers. Your caller will be able to leave a voicemail,
but if you want to answer right away
the update should be turned off.
