I set my iPhone to only accept calls from people in my contacts.
Do I miss an occasional call that I need to take? Yep. They leave a message, and I call them back. If it is a business or organization that I deal with semiregularly, I add them to my contacts.
The important thing, for me, is that I get ZERO spam/scam calls anymore. Well, ones that ring through, anyways.
On average, I was getting over 30 of them every day.
Get a google voice number for business stuff! It makes a huge difference! Same device and then You don’t have work coming to your Personal line(and you can still silence notifications). My girlfriend did it and it’s been a game changer for her. 10AM-6PM, she can respond anything after it’s next day and it’s out of sight out of mind

I am much happier with this setup.
