How to send all unwanted calls directly to your voicemail from an android phone

Despite being on the list to avoid being called, I managed to get into a place where a woman named "Ann" is trying to sell me health insurance. Ann calls at least a dozen times a day from different parts of the country (little traveler) to tell me about all the offers she has. Whenever I stay long enough to talk with a representative to ask them to stop calling me again, they hang me away immediately. It's great.

At this point, I've already blocked a bunch of "Ann" numbers, which means that my phone does not ring when I'm calling from there, but I can still leave a message voice. If you are experiencing the same thing, I highly recommend the following. The process allows me to lose at least four or five calls a day, and I can delete voicemail as soon as I hear their "Hello!" However, it is true that Ann can still go through other numbers.

Last week, Google revealed a new feature for the phone application that will make it a lot easier. Now you can set your phone so that when Google detects that a call is potentially spam, you can automatically send that call to your voicemail so that your phone does not even ring. You will need the latest version of the application to work.

To set it up, open the updated Phone app on your Android and then see the three point menu at the top of each. in the upper right corner and then Settings followed by caller ID and spam.

From there, tap "Enable Caller ID and Spam" then "Filter Suspicious Spam Calls" so that it's sent directly to voicemail.

You can also report a call as spam by accessing the phone application and watching Recent Calls. Tap the call you want to mark as spam, then select "Block / Report Spam" from the menu (not everyone has the report as a spam option). Otherwise, you can press Block, which I did to Anne when she calls to send it directly to the voicemail box.

Yes, you still have to deal with the voicemail box that your "Ann" leaves, and One or two calls you want can be sent by mistake, but if you receive a lot of spam, it may be worth it that your phone does not ring all day with calls you do not want to answer.
