HELP eliminating spam - calls, text, email. iPhone settings don’t solve it.

Why doesn’t Apple provide a spam call/text/email blocker? You have steadily increased the price of the phone without giving us more protection. I do not have time to block every single call etc. Block the call. Report the call to donotcallregistry which takes TIME. MY TIME. Delete the call. Delete the email. Delete the text. Delete the voicemail. Then delete the deleted folder. Who has time for this? You’re - change this setting or that setting has only made it worse. Now instead of just not answering, my watch, iPad, iPhone all requiring me to do something that inevitably does not fix anything. I have tried for months now to do everything you say and I am to the point of changing my number which I have had for over 20 years and getting a different phone now or waiting for Elon to put his on the market. Apple needs to fix this. You’re people that make daily updates need to work on this one until they can fix this.

You don't think Android user get spam text/calls/emails and it's only iphone users.

Text/call is your phone carrier feature contact them on what they can do to block it.
