Spam calls are annoying—and in some cases, dangerous. Fortunately, both Android and iPhone offer built-in features and app-based tools to help you identify, block, and report spam callers.

🚫 2. Block Specific Numbers

1. Open Phone > Recent calls

2. Tap the number you want to block

3. Select Block/report spam

📲 3. Use Third-Party Apps

Apps like Truecaller, Hiya, and Call Control provide real-time spam detection, auto-blocking, and caller identification.
