Is there any way to prevent spam calls from ringing on a Pixel 8?

Youmail is near perfect if you want to download that.
i second youmail. been using it for over a decade now. i would say that it will eliminate 80-90% of spam calls and text messages......so yeah some will get thru, but it is the best that i have found. there are other spam blockers out there feel free to try them, but i really like youmail

I'm on Verizon and their call filter has never let me down.
I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.

I get maybe a few spam messages and caller that is just strange that it isn't in my contact list.. Even with youmail as well..
I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.
