Your iPhone Can Ask Why Someone's Calling Before You Pick Up

Spam calls have become such a nuisance that many people simply don't answer their phone unless they recognize the number. In iOS 26, though, you can learn about who's calling before you respond, thanks to a clever new feature that intercepts unknown calls and asks the caller to identify themselves before your iPhone even rings. The new "Ask Reason for Calling" feature is kind of like having your own receptionist.... Read more
