I had this set on my iPhone 15 Pro with IOS 17; however today, I turned it off as I was expecting an important call from someone not in my contacts. I then updated to IOS 18, and now I cannot find any place to be able to reset back to silence unknown callers. This is a major issue with all of the spam and political calls.
Did Apple move this, or did they eliminate it?

thanks
Got it.
I just hate it when something has been constant for many IOS versions and they change it.

Settings>Apps>Phone>Silence Unknown Callers.
Tip: Settings has a search box at the very top of the main screen (you may have to pull down to see it). If I don't know where something is in settings, that's where I start.
Hiding something that used to be visible is not helpful at all. Yes, I found it but I shouldn’t have had to search.

Then don't ever update your phone, especially a major update as every year, a new iOS means new features and changes.

Bizarre to hid the phone in "apps" -- is the telephone really an app?
Yes, it's an app.
The camera, on the other hand, is apparently not an app and in the main settings menu. The telephone evidently ought also to be in the main settings menu.
Tell Apple:
I suspect that the Phone app is less frequently used than the Camera app.

If someone bought their first iPhone today and Apple changed things back to the way they were in iOS 17, that person would have to search it. We all get used to things. But most of us can get used to new things, too.

They do it every year with something so, you could say that's a constant, too.
How to send unknown callers directly to voicemail in iOS 18?
