> Phone calls should have a subject line, just like emails.

Yeah, I think it's called IM.

> It’s crazy that anyone can force a full-screen interrupt on my personal device with no context.

That's called DND, my phone is 100% time in DND mode. There are already filters for spam calls based on phone number.

> It would be very helpful for missed calls. “Why did my wife call twice in the last 5 minutes, did something happen, should I panic?!”

Maybe tell wife to write you IM/SMS or just communicate through IM as priority, if you desire text communication?

Not the parent, but Dog knows I have been trying. Some people just don’t understand how disruptive an unnecessary phone call is.
