[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1829142, member: 234411"] Last month I acquired my first iPhone (XR) and the first half dozen calls I received were likely spam/ads (picked up the first two - did not answer the others) - this has continue w/ few legitimate calls ringing the device; at home we have a landline and talking caller ID - the phone rings a lot but the numbers and identifications are likely spam/robocalls/ads/etc, so we rarely even answer the phone (will this be addressed in Congress - maybe or not from recent news?). During the last week+, I've been going through a 3-part 'Cybersecurity Course' w/ Alexander Oni (got a promo of $10/part so not much to lose and he has been enjoyable) - now on the 'Mobile' discussions and wondering what others w/ more and much longer experience w/ the iPhone have done? The App iOS store has plenty of offers (see 2nd pic - just the first page!). At the least, can any of these apps prevent the phone from ringing if the source is an ad/robocall/spam/etc? Second, is other malware (e.g. Trojans, Ransomware, etc.) really an issue w/ iOS? Thanks for any comments. Dave :) . [ATTACH=FULL]30292[/ATTACH] . [ATTACH=FULL]30293[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
