I got a Pixel phone and spam calls have almost disappeared (1 a month). They seem to be doing something around extra screening that's pretty good and useful.

If you're using a non-Pixel Android phone, you may be able to get the same benefits by switching from your manufacturer's Phone app to Google's. Doing this on a Samsung S22 Ultra took me from tons of spam calls to none.

Where does one find this magical app? I see lots of "phone" apps in Play Store, but I can't identify one specifically from Google.
