Silence Unknown Callers / caller-id

Hello community.


Does the feature "Silence Unknown Callers" detect and block calls when the caller-id is set (spoofed) to a phone number that is saved in contacts?

To the best of my knowledge, no, it won't. All the iPhone has to go on is what the cell service reports as being the calling number, and if the scammer is successful in spoofing the number of someone in your contacts, your iPhone has no way of detecting the difference.


Regards.
