The Best IOS 26 Update Is Cybersecurity

If you’re tired of robocalls and spam messages, iOS 26 might just be your new favorite update.

One of the most underrated new features in iOS 26 is its built-in call screening tool — and it’s a total gamechanger for stopping scammers before they even reach you.

How It Works

When an unknown number calls, your iPhone now answers for you. It asks who’s calling and why, then shows you a live transcription of their response in real time. You can decide whether to pick up — or let the call go.

Goodbye robocalls, telemarketers, and “extended car warranty” scams. 👋

Cleaner Inbox, Too

Apple didn’t stop there. The same protection extends to iMessage, where messages from unknown numbers or suspected spam are automatically filtered into a separate folder. That means your main inbox stays clutter-free and focused on the people who actually matter.

The Bottom Line

No more interruptions, no more guessing who’s calling, and no more digging through spam messages.
