How iOS 13’s “Silence Unknown Callers” Will Stop Phone Spam

The Silence Unknown Callers Toggle in Settings App

iOS 13 has a new feature that might just save you from all spam and robocalls. The new Silence Unknown Callers feature will mute all calls coming from a number that’s not in your contact list.

Stopping the Endless Stream of Spam Calls

Silence Unknown Callers is a simple toggle that will automatically block unknown numbers from calling you. Your contacts and people you’ve interacted with will still be able to call you, but you won’t be bothered by incoming calls from anyone else.

This feature is one of the biggest reasons we’re excited for iOS 13 when Apple releases it sometime in fall 2019.

How Silence Unknown Callers Works

The Silence Unknown Callers feature is quite a blunt instrument—it’s a simple toggle in Settings. Once enabled, any call you receive from an unknown number will be silenced. If Siri Intelligence finds the number in the Mail, Messages, or Contacts app, the call will come through.

You can think of it as iOS automatically hitting the Decline button for you. You’ll still get a Missed Call notification, and you’ll find the number in the Recents list in the Phone app.

If you have voicemail enabled, the call will automatically go to the voicemail. This is where the visual voicemail feature will come in handy (availability and charges depend on your carrier).

When you go to the “Voicemail” tab in the Phone app, you’ll be able to listen or read the transcript of the voicemail (as you can see in the screenshot below).

Reading a transcript of a spam voicemail

If the message is important, you can choose to call them back. If not, delete the voicemail, and if needed, block the number.

In our testing, we found that if you call the number back, any subsequent calls you get from the number won’t be silenced automatically.

How to Enable Silence Unknown Callers

This feature isn’t enabled by default. To enable it after upgrading to iOS 13, open the Settings app and go to the “Phone” section.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on the toggle next to “Silence Unknown Callers” to enable the feature.

Turn on Silence Unknown Callers Feature in Settings

How to Ensure You Won’t Miss Important Calls

What Silence Known Callers feature lacks is nuance and control. If you want to be sure you’ll get incoming calls from someone, add the person’s phone number to your contacts. That’s all you can do to control it.

Unlike the Do Not Disturb feature, a call won’t come through after repeated attempts. With this feature enabled, your iPhone won’t ring even if someone calls you six times in a row.

If you’re concerned you might miss an important or emergency call coming from a payphone or a hospital, then you should not enable this feature.

However, you will still get voicemails from unknown callers. As long as you’re checking your voicemails, you won’t miss anything important.

How to Check Voicemail for Missed Calls

Some of those unknown calls may be important, and hopefully, those important callers will leave a voicemail for you. You can check voicemails from your missed calls from the Phone app.

If you have voicemail enabled, open the Phone app and go to the “Voicemail” tab. If you haven’t enabled it yet, you can do it from this screen.

Tap on the Voicemail tab in Phone app to view voicemails

You’ll see voicemails from callers at the top. Tap on a voicemail from the list or select the corresponding “i” button to expand the voicemail.

Tap on I button next to voicemail to see transcription

Tap on the “Play” button to listen to the message. If you have the Visual Voicemail feature enabled, you’ll see a snippet of the transcribed text below the number. Tap on the box to expand the text.

Tap on Play button to listen to a voicemail

Alternatives to Silence Unknown Callers

If silently blocking most phone numbers in the world sounds too aggressive to you, you have some alternatives that can silence spam calls.

While it’s not the exact same thing, you can set up the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature only to allow calls from Favorites. DND also has an option to allow repeated calls. This means that a second call from the same number within three minutes won’t be silenced.

You can also use a spam blocker app like Hiya to automatically block spam and robocalls, but it’s not a complete fix. The success rate of the app will depend on its database of spam callers, which is never fully complete. While it might not block all spam calls, it should get most of them.

It’s 2020. Is Using Public Wi-Fi Still Dangerous?

A free Wi-Fi sign on a brick wall.
Is Public Wi-Fi Safe or Not?

This is a complicated topic. It’s true that browsing on public Wi-Fi is much safer and more private than it used to be thanks to the widespread embrace of HTTPS on the web. Other people on the public Wi-Fi network can’t just snoop on everything you’re doing. Man-in-the-middle attacks aren’t as trivially easy as they used to be.

The EFF recently came down on the side of public Wi-Fi being safe, writing that “There are plenty of things in life to worry about. You can cross ‘public Wi-Fi’ off your list.”

That sounds like sensible advice. And it’d be great if public Wi-Fi was completely safe! We’ve certainly used public Wi-Fi ourselves, and we don’t worry about it as much as we used to.

But, if you’re asking us whether Wi-Fi is entirely safe, we can’t say that. David Lindner at Contrast Security wrote a counterpoint to the EFF’s argument, pointing out the risks of malicious hotspots. The community over at Hacker News had quite a few thoughts about the dangers of public Wi-Fi, too. We’ve tried to explain the risks below.

Here’s the bottom line: Random people aren’t going to snoop on your activities on public Wi-Fi anymore. But it would be possible for a malicious hotspot to do a bunch of bad things. Using a VPN on a public Wi-Fi network or avoiding public Wi-Fi in favor of your cellular data network is safer.

Why Public Wi-Fi Is Safer Than Ever

Widespread HTTPS encryption on the web has fixed the main security problem with public Wi-Fi. Before HTTPS was widespread, most websites used unencrypted HTTP. When you accessed a standard website over HTTP on public Wi-Fi, other people on the network could snoop on your traffic, viewing the exact web page you were viewing and monitoring any messages and other data you sent.

Worse yet, the public Wi-Fi hotspot itself could perform a “man in the middle” attack, modifying the web pages sent to you. The hotspot could change any web page or other content accessed over HTTP. If you downloaded software over HTTP, a malicious public Wi-Fi hotspot could give you malware instead.

Now, HTTPS has become widespread, and web browsers are branding traditional HTTP sites “not secure.” If you connect to a public Wi-Fi network and access websites over HTTPS, other people on the public Wi-Fi network can see the domain name of the site you’re connected to (for example, howtogeek.com), but that’s it. They can’t see the specific web page you’re viewing, and they certainly can’t tamper with anything on the HTTPS site in transit.

The amount of data people can snoop on has gone way down, and it’d be harder for even a malicious Wi-Fi network to tamper with your traffic.

Some Snooping Is Still Possible

While public Wi-Fi is now much more private, it’s still not completely private. For example, if you’re browsing the web, you might end up on an HTTP site eventually. A malicious hotspot could have tampered with that web page as it was sent to you, and other people on the public Wi-Fi network would be able to monitor your communications with that site—which web page you’re looking at on it, the exact content of the web page you’re looking at, and any messages or other data you upload.

Even when using HTTPS, there’s still a bit of snooping potential. Encrypted DNS isn’t yet widespread, so other devices on the network can see your device’s DNS requests. When you connect to a website, your device contacts its configured DNS server over the network and finds the IP address connected to a website. In other words, if you’re connected to a public Wi-Fi network and browsing the web, someone else nearby could monitor which websites you visit.

However, snooper wouldn’t be able to see the specific web pages you were loading on that HTTPS site. For example, they’d know that you were connected to google.com but not which article you were reading. They would also be able to see some other information, such as the amount of data being transferred back and forth—but not the contents of the data.

A malicious Wi-Fi hotspot could redirect you to malicious websites. If you connect to a malicious Wi-Fi hotspot and try to connect to bankofamerica.com, it could forward you to the address of a phishing site impersonating your real bank. The hotspot could execute a “man in the middle attack,” loading the real bankofamerica.com and presenting you a copy of it over HTTP. When you sign in, you’d be sending your login details to the malicious hotspot, which could capture them.

That phishing site wouldn’t be an HTTPS site, but would you really notice the HTTP in your browser’s address bar? Techniques like HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) allow websites to tell web browsers that they should only connect over HTTPS and never use HTTP, but not every website takes advantage of that.

Apps, in general, could also be a problem—do all the apps on your smartphone correctly validate certificates? Is every application on your computer configured to transfer data over HTTPS in the background, or are there some applications automatically using HTTP instead? In theory, applications should be correctly validating certificates and avoiding HTTP in favor of HTTPS. In practice, it’d be tough to confirm every app is behaving correctly.

Other devices on the network could also be a problem. For example, if you’re using a computer or other device with unpatched security holes, your device could be attacked by other devices on the network. That’s why Windows PCs come with a firewall enabled by default and why that firewall is more restrictive when you tell Windows you’re connected to public Wi-Fi instead of a private Wi-Fi network. If you tell the computer you’re connected to a private network, your network shared folders may be made available to other computers on the public Wi-Fi.

How to Protect Yourself Anyway

While public Wi-Fi is safer and more private than it used to be, the security picture is still messier than we’d like.

For maximum protection on public Wi-Fi networks, we still recommend a VPN. When you use a VPN, you connect to a single VPN server, and all of your system’s traffic is routed through an encrypted tunnel to the server. The public Wi-Fi network you’re connecting to sees a single connection—your VPN connection. No one can even see which websites you’re connecting to.

That’s a big reason why businesses use VPNs (virtual private networks.) If your organization makes one available to you, you should seriously consider connecting to it when you’re on public Wi-Fi networks. However, you can pay for a VPN service and route your traffic through there when you use networks you don’t completely trust.

You could also skip public Wi-Fi networks entirely. For example, if you have a cellular data plan with wireless hotspot (tethering) capabilities and a solid cellular connection, you could connect your laptop to your phone’s hotspot in public and avoid the potential problems involved in public Wi-Fi.

How to Protect Your Google Drive on iPhone and iPad With Face ID or Touch ID

Google Drive app on iPhone asking for Face ID authentication

Storing important and or sensitive documents in Google Drive isn’t the most secure way to protect your data, but if you are, your iPhone and iPad can help keep everything safe. Here’s how to add a Face ID or Touch ID lock to the cloud storage’s mobile app.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Google doesn’t offer enhanced security options on its Drive app for Android or on the web. Enabling two-factor authentication on your Google account is your best bet for keeping people out of your cloud files. Start by opening the “Drive” app on your iPhone or iPad. Use Apple’s built-in Spotlight Search if you can’t find it on your home screen.
