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.

I guess your other comment didn't federate to my instance, because there is no other comment by you in this thread. I even checked your profile. Can you link me to it?

My message and a slightly different location said by another user. Hope it helps

[email protected] You got me in the right place! Phone settings -> Spam and Call Screen -> Call Screen Spam

Oh, call screen? I was afraid that would answer the calls with the Google Assistant and make it so more spammers would call me.
