    A phone app that automatically accepts calls from suspected scam numbers, robocalls and unknown numbers and immediately mutes the mic, keeping the call going until the machine on the other side of the line disconnects and marks my number as non-working.

    This has been how I’ve gone down from multiple spam calls a week to just a few a year. I’d really like to automate that.

      I had an idea, personally I just use the Google phone app it seems to do a pretty good job of blocking spam calls somehow. However I had a funny idea. I suspect that these robocallers May be able to recognize the we’re sorry your call cannot be completed as dialed tone and words which may signal to them that the number doesn’t work.
