I tried this on iOS and it doesn’t work well because it turns off all other notifications.

While calls do get through from your contacts, you don’t get notifications for anything.

I really just want a contacts whitelist, but since that isn’t an option I use nomorobo which is a subscription service that works really well to block spam calls for $2/month. It’s an iOS app, focuses on not uploading your stuff to their servers, and doesn’t collect your call logs.

Just use the Do Not Disturb feature on iOS

I’m saying that it doesn’t work well because Do Not Disturb blocks all notifications.

Do Not Disturb has a variety of options on iOS that can allow calls from your contacts and blocks all others.

People get other notifications that they want to see besides calls though.
