Focus-Driving

[Danny0300]

I have an iPhone 16 pro max, and like many of you I'm sure, you get calls from scammers. I'm getting those calls even when I'm driving, and the focus-driving is activated. Somehow the scammers can override the focus-driving setting. Is there a way to stop this, or will I just have to turn off the phone every time I drive. Thanks for any help.

I use a security program on my phone that is provided by my Cell company. In this case it is AT&T. (called Active Armor) but I know Verizon has one too so assume most do. You have to download the app to your iPhone. I have it set so if the caller is not in my Contacts list, it goes to Voicemail and so I never get to even hear scam callers ring. They rarely leave V/M but show on your recents list. Their texts come through but I don’t listen to texts while driver unless I know the sender so its easy to ignore those while driving.

Have you checked the settings for the Driving focus? You can specify only callers from within your contacts will be allowed, or indeed only selected contacts. The same goes for all other notifications as well.
