Spam calls and texts are driving me fing crazy anyone have suggestions?

catch22@programming.dev to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 115 points –

After repeated data breaches that no company really seems to give a s--- about my phone is blowing up with literally hundreds of spam calls and texts month. I get and make MAAAAYBE 2 or 3 important calls per month, 180-200 of the rest are literally all spam. Anyone have any suggestions, apps ect that they have found refuge with? I really don't use SMS that much either, mostly it's via signal, discord whats app, ect...

Just to put it out there I run CalyxOS on a Pixel 5a.

I use the app "should I answer" on Google play store. It worked pretty well for my partner who isn't really that smart with that kinda stuff and used to get lots of calls. But it helped her a bit mitigating it.

I like it too but I wish they would stop harrasing you with their database update, it's so annoying!

Oh forgot I turned that notification off. So I only update it once in a while.
