Spam filter

[IMANUT46]

What is the best free spam filter out there in addition to the CALL SCREENING of Pixel 3. Thanks.

Just curious, are you getting a lot of spam calls even with Spam and Call Screen turned on? It's been pretty awesome for me. Are you also reporting any spam calls that get through?

Don't install special apps...the Google Phone app does the job very well.

Agree

Yep I have to agree with everyone else.... Google's built in automatic spam/robocalls/fake & spoofed numbers call and text screening works very well. Just be sure you go into the settings in the phone app (3 dots upper right) and make sure it's actually turned on. I believe it's off by default.

I don't get MANY spam calls as I agree that the filter works pretty well. However, some get through and I'm trying to find out why. I used to have a filter that reported the call was probably SPAM, but gave me an option to I'D the caller. I don't know what happened to the App.
Anyway, I guess I'm just one of those people who tries to make a good app better.
It's in the GENE'S.

Next best option would be use DND (Do Not Disturb) that way only your contacts can call

The spam filter isn't 100% perfect, but it should be able to learn. Are you reporting those numbers as spam?

Yes I am. But sometimes DND does not filter all SPAM.
I'LL just live with the minor problem, since it only happens occasionally.
Actually, I chose an email address that I thought would discourage PHISHING.

There is a update today for the phone app that mentioned it addressed screen calling so see if it's better.

I noticed that. So far, I haven't had the problem again. Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it to see if it fixes the problem.
