Does the iPhone 8 have "call blocking and identification" in the phone settings? I don't see it on my phone

I have receiving approximately 50 international spam calls a day. I have my phone on silence unknown callers but I'd like to get an app to control the incoming calls as I need to have phone for some unknown calls (docs, lawyers, vets....). My question is does the iPhone 8 have the "tap call blocking and identification" in the phone settings? I can't find it and some of the apps require this setting.

You can any number to the blocked list, but spam calls usually come from a different number each time. That’s why Apple added Silence Unknown Callers.

Many carriers offer blocking apps, so check with your carrier. For example, AT&T has Call Protect, which is free. And there’s a good app from Nomorobo that costs $2 a month but works well.
