Anyone else notice a "report" call button? It seems to have appeared with the latest update...funny part is that it doesn't seem to do anything.
 
Is maybe a feature of another app? I have WhitePages and Reverse Call Lookup installed. The latter is one that rates unknown numbers on a scale from OK to Spam. Recently Google enacted some changes where apps can no longer draw directly from the recent call list and number have to be copied and pasted to the app, perhaps this belongs to an app but with the new restriction it can't do anything because that would be drawing information from your recent call log and the dev. just forgot to remove it?
 
I never installed any app that would have installed anything like that which I'm aware of? Unless it's an ATT thing (I only use visual voicemail, nothing else)?

Here is a screenshot showing the new button at the bottom right that does nothing...that number is the IRS spam/fishing robocall, so don't call it!

Yeah looking at your screenshot it looks pretty stock so maybe it sends an uneditable report and something on the carriers end checks it out. Not knowing who your carrier is maybe you can go online and see numbers you've reported and do something more with it there. I think with Verizon you can do some spam things, not from your device but in your account.
