Ask HN: Why can’t I block all incoming calls that aren’t in my contact list?

I've found the Google Call Screening feature to do a much better job at this than anything more malicious.

I tap a button, and the call screener takes its time to explain that I've enabled that call screening service, while I continue on my day. No spam I've ever gotten has waited for the voice to finish its 3rd word.

Google Call Screening almost solves the parent's problem. The only thing missing is a setting to have it automatically screen all calls that aren't in my contact list. Then my phone would never ring unless I know you or you waited/responded to the call screening.

Yes. I don’t even want to see the number come up or hear the phone ring unless they are on my contacts list.
