Does iOS 17’s Live Voicemail solve this problem for you?

Not entirely, but that’s a really nice feature! It brings a great design my grandparents’ voicemail on their landline has had for decades.
What I want is how the Google Pixel lets you screen calls. The unknown caller talks to a robot that requests that they explain the reason for their call and then I get notified and can read what they said. This makes it easy to answer a call from my doctor’s office while weeding out spam. Currently I silence all unknown callers because I receive so much spam, but that’s led to me missing important calls.

Doesn’t look like too many big changes in iOS 17. The primary feature I would like to see added is the Google Pixel’s call screening that effectively eliminates spam and handles unknown numbers that are not spam rather effectively.
