Ever since I updated to iOS 18 the silence unknown caller feature is not working. I have turned it on, AND blocked the phone number, but the number is still able to call me and it actually rings through. How do I fix this??

This happened to me, too. Go to Settings and go to the “Search Bar” up on top below the word Settings. Click on it and type “Phone”. Now, scroll down to where there is a Phone Symbol and it says, “Phone” and below that will be the word apps. Click on the Phone icon and scroll down to “Silence Unknown Callers” and Select On. Now go back to the home page, turn off the phone by clicking up and clicking down, then hold the power button, don’t let go until the phone resets and the apple logo lights up before letting go. Now, try calling the phone from an unknown number not on your caller ID if it works.

Same error here. Just updated to IOS 18 and now my phone accepts all calls. I finally found the silence unknown callers which Apple moved. ARGH! but it was still on. I also rebooted the phone and still get the calls even though all the caller ids say "SCAM LIKELY" So clearly my cell service knows, just not Apple!
This did not work.
