At Apple's WWDC, the unveiling of iOS 26 showcased a striking redesign alongside AI-driven features, marking Apple's first major redesign of its mobile OS since 2013. Key innovations include Call Screening, which automates responses to unknown callers, and Spam Detection that organizes spam messages. However, these features, while polished, fall short compared to similar functionalities that Android has offered since 2018. The article highlights Apple's efforts to catch up but suggests that their implementations lack the depth and sophistication of Google's existing capabilities.
Apple's new Call Screening automatically answers unknown numbers in the background, transcribing caller responses in real time. Hold Assist detects hold music, mutes the call, and alerts you when a live agent returns.
iOS 26 routes suspected Spam messages to a dedicated Unknown Senders folder so they stay out of the main feed, remaining silenced unless they've been given the green light.
