I remember using an app that blocked spam calls using a collaborative database. The one I use now is Truecaller, but it’s always trying to get me to subscribe. I liked the one I used before better. What is the best caller ID app that can block spam that you know about?

      Came here to say that. A suspected spam caller won’t even cause the phone to ring.

        nice, thanks. I have a OnePlus phone so the Google Phone app wasn’t installed on it by default. But I just installed it… hopefully fewer robocalls from now on.

          Came from a OnePlus 6t to the Pixel.

          The CEO had just left to create Nothing. OnePlus 7 owners were complaining about the newly merged interface. So when it was time to change - three year cycle - I went to Pixel 7 Pro.

          Still got Nothing on my list for a Pixel 10 competitor.

          Which OnePlus do you have and what do you think of it?

            I have a OnePlus 8. I’ve had it for what feels like a while now… 3 years if I had to guess? Can’t remember honestly. But the battery life kicks ass, and it charges really quickly with the “warp” charger.

            I only do a little bit of customization… I switched from Nova Prime to Kvaesitso recently and am liking it… but have never rooted or changed OS. The camera leaves a little to be desired, but that’s ok, I have a real camera for when I need to do that.

            I probably won’t look for another phone until this one gets bogged down or otherwise broken, and when I do, I usually just see what my carrier has that isn’t super expensive. I generally avoid iPhones, and I prefer to stay away from Google as much as reasonably possible (I know I just installed their phone app, I know, I know) so I haven’t really considered a Pixel. But my arm could be twisted… I dunno.

            I haven’t heard of Nothing!

              Thank-you. I’m much the same.

                Ooh that’s cool looking. Thanks! Definitely will keep an eye out for it when the time comes.
