No you are not imagining things.
There is really a virtual tsunami of robocalls disturbing devices all over the world nowadays, with 26.3 billion unwanted phonecalls recorded last year in USA alone.
Because a lot of these phone calls come as 26.3 billion unwanted with an “Unknown” caller ID, users will be able to decrease the number of calls they get by blocking them.
Sadly, Apple has not made blocking Unknown, Private, or No Caller ID calls on your iOS device easy, but there are a few steps you can take.

This is a very useful way to restrict phone calls from private and unknown numbers, but it comes with its demerits as well.
Phone owners are able to enable the iPhone’s Do Not Disturb mode and configure it to allow calls from numbers in your contacts list to come in. Every unknown phonecall will head straight to voicemail (which is not bad since several robocalls will not leave a message), but this is the case with any legitimate calls that are not present in your contacts list.
As you attempt this method, you need to keep an eye on your voicemail for vital phone calls.
- Launch “Settings” and click “Do Not Disturb.”
- Click “Allow Calls From.”
- On the Allow Calls From page, click “All Contacts.”
You will now be able to activate Do Not Disturb mode (click the switch at the top of the Do Not Disturb page, or access the Control Center from the top right or bottom of the display and click the crescent moon icon.) and just those in your contacts list will be able to ring through – every other number will head to voicemail.

How Can I Block Calls On My iPhone From Specific Private Callers?
All the calls you get cannot be blocked, but you can block specific ones.
“Block this Caller” exists in the call log in the Phone app.
Bear in mind that telemarketers make use of gigantic phone banks to place calls. One telemarketer might place phone calls from several different numbers, therefore this will have just a subtle impact on the number of unwanted calls you receive.
