😡Just learned that blocking a caller on android doesn't block their voicemails😡

How fucking stupid is that? Sorry, but not having a good morning. This is like when I found out you can't set the number of rings either. Sometimes I just want to smash all my tech and go back to rocks, sticks, and leaves.

I'm pretty unclear why you'd have this arbitrary expectation

You leave a voicemail by calling someone.

You leave a voicemail by calling someone that doesn't answer.

Blocking the call at your phone is just not answering.

Use something like Google's Call Screening that actually answers numbers not in your contacts so they don't get the opportunity to leave a voicemail.
