1 Tech Tip
Stop letting unknown callers interrupt you
A couple weekends ago, I was visiting the Brooklyn Museum to check out their Art of Manga exhibition with my brother, and his phone kept ringing with spam calls.
That's when I realized he hadn't enabled what I think is the single most critical phone setting: screening unknown callers!
If you're on an iPhone, go to Settings → Apps → Phone → Screen Unknown Callers. You'll find three options:
Never: All calls ring as usual.
Ask Reason for Calling: Your iPhone answers unknown numbers for you and asks who's calling and why. It only rings afterward, showing you their response so you can decide whether to answer.
Silence: Unknown numbers go straight to voicemail without disturbing you.
For Android users, Google Pixel phones have a similar Call Screen feature under Phone → Settings → Call Screen. Samsung Galaxy phones also offer call screening on supported newer models, plus spam blocking under Phone → Settings → Caller ID and spam protection.
No more interrupting your day to answer another call about your car's extended warranty!
Bonus: Under Call Filtering in the same settings, you can enable Unknown Callers and Spam to keep those calls in separate lists instead of cluttering your regular call history.
For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here (doing my best to update once a month).
Thank you for reading!
If you’re a fan of manga and will be in NYC before January 31st, 2027, definitely check out the Art of Manga exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum before it ends!
Fun fact: It’s the first major manga exhibition in the Americas.
They even created this wooden Japanese booth specifically for the exhibit.
Catch you next Thursday~
