In the past two days alone, I've gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.

I've had Pixels for years and the call screener is my favorite feature. It confuses so many people.

The voice is very similar to mine, which really trips people up when I use it lol

Wait, where do I enable this? 😮

Edit: Found this guide, but Spam & Call Screen isn't available on my 8 pro. So I guess it's only regionally available. :/

Edit 2: Some people online seem to have the same problem. Assigning Phone back as Spam App in the phone settings, clearing the cache and force stopping the Phone app also didn't change anything.
