Android Nexus phones can now screen spam calls

An update to the Android mobile operating system identifies suspected spam callers so you can choose whether or not to take the call.

You can do the same on any Android phone (maybe iphones too?) with a free app called 'True Caller". I've had it on my phone and my wife's phone for many months, works well. It's free caller ID, tells you the percentage of people who've reported the # as spam and you can also block that # from calling again (although you do that w/o the app too).

I use a app .called Whoscall its free and you can block callers and stop them from even leaving a message. free app - works for me on my galaxy 6 .

Is it me or didn't Android have an option when you held down an inbound call in the history to block the number? I went to block a number today and only saw "Copy number" and "Edit number before call". Now I have to select copy, then go to the settings and in Call Blocking use Add number and paste the number.
