How do I prevent silenced call notifications?

I’ve set my phone to silence suspicious/spam calls. Fantastic, works pretty great. However, my phone keeps notifying me to tell me it silenced a call which defeats the whole purpose. I do not want to be alerted to silenced calls and I can’t find any setting that disables these notifications.


Even as I typed this post, I recieved 4 spam calls that were silenced and had 4 notifications slide down my screen to tell me spam was blocked.


Please help :)

iPhone 13, iOS 17

If you mean the "Silence Unknown Callers" feature, there is no way to block notifications just on those. The calls are being received, they just won't ring. So you'll still get notified that the call arrived. Otherwise you might miss a call you really wanted to know about. The only way to stop that would be to turn off notifications from the Phone app completely.


To my knowledge, the option ot "Silence Junk Callers", if you have that option in your iPhone (it may be an iOS 18 option and/or require support from your cell carrier), works the same way.
