From iOS 26, Apple proposes a new feature of filtering of unknown numbers. This feature proposes:
- no filter and let the call go
- ask the caller to precise the reason of the call: the phone takes immediately the call and asks the caller to "identify" during around 20s and then the call is presented to the user with the textual trasncription of this identification
- redirect automatically the call to the voicemail
This feature applies only to unknown callers, which corresponds to numbers that the system doesn't know at all. The filtering will not be applied in the following cases:
- the number is already present in the call history as an outgoing call
- the number is part of the local contacts
- the number is identified for example as spam by a third-party application (like Orange Phone).
Then, if you have installed Orange Phone antispam and you activate the new iOS 26 filtering feature, when receiving an incoming call:
- if the number is known from Orange Phone, the call will be identified in the call screen and no filtering will be applied
- if the number is not known from Orange Phone, the filtering will be applied
As a conclusion, the Orange Phone antispam is not incompatible at all with the iOS 26 filtering feature. On the contrary, it allows to identify as early as possible the spam numbers in the call screen, without depending on the identification done by the caller himself.
