Spam calls have gotten
out of control recently, and
now Apple has a solution—
you can send those calls
directly to voicemail. This
won’t prevent you from get-
ting spam calls altogether,
but it will certainly help you
tolerate them a little better.
Basically, this update uses
Siri to identify numbers not
saved on your device and
send them directly to voice-
mail. Any numbers that you
have used in Messages,
Mail, or Contacts will ring as
usual.
To enable this feature,
open the Settings app, tap
Phone, and toggle on
Silence Unknown Callers.
Pretty simple! Just remem-
ber that all unknown calls
will be sent to voicemail
with this setting enabled, so
if you don’t have the number
for your doctor’s offi ce or
your mechanic saved, then
their calls will go straight to
voicemail.We already use our Ap-
ple IDs to sign in to Apple
services; now we can do
the same with apps and
websites! Imagine the time
you’ll save using your Apple
ID to create new accounts
and sign in, rather than
choosing a new username
and password for each one
or compromising our privacy
by using Facebook to sign
in. You can even enable
Touch or Face ID with this
feature, so you won’t need
to enter your Apple ID and
password either. Different
websites and apps are in
varying stages of incorpo-
rating this feature; some
already have Face and Touch
ID enabled, some only re-
quire you to tap Sign in or
Sign up with Apple ID, and
others require that you type
out your Apple ID and pass-
word. As time passes, more
and more developers will
incorporate this feature fully.Top Tips to Save
