One of the best features of Apple iOS 26 is the new call-screening feature[1].

Pixel Call Screen has been a godsend for me since its debut, akin to using uBlock Origin for browsing.

Would this actually work if it's more of a targeted attack? It seems like not, because they could just kind of lie to your call-screener.

Apple once again just implementing ideas from Android lol

This will be great tho to help cut down on iOS users and scams hopefully

Call screening existed before either of them did it. I had some 3rd party Android app/service that did it way back in the day.
