Silenced calls.

I really like the Silence Calls feature of the Phone App. What I don't like is having to first get rid of the calls from my lock screen and then go in to the Recents Section of the Phone App and delete the entry again. If the caller doesn't leave a voice mail, I would rather not even know a call came in and was silenced. Maybe that could be a settings option in later IOS. Just a thought and my opinion.

This sounds like a great idea to me. Like you, unless a message is left, I see no point in being notified of probable spam calls. I also agree, though, that it should be a setting that can be configured, as there are probably people out there who would prefer to see all the numbers that have called, in case one is considered spam falsely.

I like this idea too. But isn't that what the setting to send all spam calls to voicemail is for? Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken. But one thing I also like is the fact that VoiceOver recently started saying "spam risk" for some of these calls. I've gotten tons of these lately, and it really helps. Now whenever I hear "spam risk" I just ignore the call entirely and go about my business.

I like that these calls are sent directly to voice mail but I don't like having to delete them from my lock screen notification. And then the call is still in Recents and you have to delete it again. I don't want to know the phone number of a spam call.
