After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s--- about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with? I really don't use SMS that much either, mostly it's via signal, discord whats app, ect...

Just to put it out there I run CalyxOS on a Pixel 5a.

Mine will show "Spam" or "Telemarketer", but there's no way to stop it from ringing trough, outside of blocking each number afterward. I'd like to know who thought that just announcing spam was better than not letting it through.

Check your settings, mine doesn't even show me a missed call.

blocking numbers is a waste of time.
