Has anyone managed to get this to work? Unknown numbers just ring as normal.

I’ve been using it for a while, as have been running the public betas. Worked really well on my 16pm and still working on the 17pm. Have you tried hard rebooting the phone?

Yes tried rebooting and also read about an issue of you have Truecaller installed, removed that and still doesn’t work. I was wondering if it was an issue with EE.

It’s a new feature in iOS 26, when you get a call from an unknown caller it will ask them to say who they are and why they are calling to prevent spam calls.

I’m on EE, strange you can’t get it working. This video seems pretty basic but posting it, in case it fixes it for you.
