Silencing unknown callers on your iPhone is a useful feature
to reduce spam or robocalls. When enabled, calls from unknown numbers (those
not in your contacts, recent calls, or Siri Suggestions) will be silenced and
sent directly to voicemail, while still appearing in the Recent tab of
the Phone app. Here’s how to enable it:

Steps to Silence Unknown Callers:

1. Open
   the Settings App
• Go
  to the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Navigate
   to Phone Settings
• Scroll
  down and tap on Phone.
3. Enable
   Silence Unknown Callers
• Look
  for the option Silence Unknown Callers and tap on it.
• Toggle
  the switch to on (green).
4. Understand
   How It Works
• Calls
  from unknown numbers will be silenced and sent to voicemail.
• Calls
  from numbers in your Contacts, Recents, or those identified
  by Siri Suggestions (e.g., numbers found in your email or text
  messages) will still ring normally.

Tips:

• To
  ensure important calls aren’t silenced, save trusted numbers to your Contacts.
• Use
  this feature alongside Focus Modes (e.g., Do Not Disturb) for more
  control over call notifications.
• If
  you’re expecting a call from an unknown number (e.g., a delivery or
  customer service), temporarily disable this feature.

This feature is available on iPhones running iOS 13 or
later. It’s a simple way to avoid unwanted interruptions while staying
reachable for known contacts.
