iOS 26 call screening not working

salsalka — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 18:48:38 GMT

Hi,

I have the latest iOS (26.0.1) installed on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I have enabled call screening with the option to 'ask reason for calling'; however, the feature doesn't seem to work. Unknown calls just come straight through anyway.

I've tried multiple restarts and a hard reset as well to no avail. I wonder if this is a feature that has to be supported by the carrier as well, or am I just being unlucky?

Is anyone on O2 using this feature successfully, or had a similar problem and were able to resolve it?

Thanks a lot in advance for the help.

@salsalka

No idea if it's supported yet by O2 but make sure your phone language and region match, so both United Kingdon and English (UK)
