    Google lets you ask a series of suggested questions (kinda like the auto suggested text stuff), or you can just ignore the call. I’ve never felt the need to engage any further with any numbers I don’t already have, and not sure exactly why you’d want to, but the feature has been available for years now.

    Edit - I think you can even screen the call by listening to the callers reply to the robot voice, but again never really cared enough to use it.

      It displays a transcript on the screen. Most of the time spamers just hang up.

      I’m not sure if it’s pixel only at the moment but they recently expanded the previously US only feature to screen calls like that automatically. You get a live transcript and if you missed the call you can listen back to the recording. But the biggest feature is actually hidden, if I go look at my call history I’d say a good 75% of it is confirmed spam that was detected and effectively blocked without bringing it to my attention at all.
