Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 0:15Screen Unknown Callers can ask callers their reason for calling or silence them to voicemail.
- 2:13Call Filtering moves unknown and spam calls into separate lists; it does not prevent the calls.
- 2:40The Phone app's Recents tab provides access to the filtered call lists.
- 3:34Nace enables Business Connect ID and Carrier Call Identification to help identify calling businesses.
- 4:17He turns on Impersonation Risk Detection under Privacy & Security.
- 6:18Banking apps could use device risk indicators to hold a potentially fraudulent transfer.
The promise is a quieter iPhone, but not every switch Trevor Nace demonstrates actually blocks a call. That distinction is the useful thread running through his new spam-call tutorial, which reached nearly 200,000 views in 15 hours, far beyond his usual start.
Nace begins with Screen Unknown Callers. The choices include asking an unfamiliar caller to explain why they're calling, with their answer transcribed, or silencing the call and sending it to voicemail. It's a choice between getting more information before answering and avoiding the interruption altogether.
Next comes a less dramatic but important distinction: Call Filtering separates unknown and spam calls from the ordinary call log. It doesn't stop them arriving. As Nace explains, "Now, this doesn't block or prevent those calls. It just moves where those calls are located in the Phone app." He then shows where to find those filtered lists.
Viewers are discussing precisely those trade-offs: screening versus silencing, voicemail that still needs clearing, and legitimate calls they say were caught in the process. One commenter reports receiving a spam call while watching the tutorial.
The guide, demonstrated on iOS 27, also covers business identification before moving into Privacy & Security. There, Nace enables Impersonation Risk Detection and explains how a banking app could use the phone's risk indicators to hold a suspicious transfer. His walkthrough moves from keeping an unwanted ring out of your day to explaining what an app might do before money leaves an account.
