don't most smartphones do that nowadays?
I mean... it was pretty great several years ago when it was new, but it's a standard feature in most smartphones now, yes?
it's been a feature on my iPhone for 3-5 years
edit: not even a premium feature, but just a standard feature
Settings>Apps>Phone> Screen calls, there are 3 options for that. One let's all through, one screens them and gives you a text transcript, the last sends them all to voicemail with a silent ring so it doesn't disturb you.
I've never seen any phone tell me why someone is calling, only who
Frankly, I've gotten to the end of many phone calls and still not known why someone thought they needed to interrupt my day with a phone call.
I'm glad this is an increasingly common view though tbh, we all got phones in our pockets a few decades ago, and no one really stopped to set the new line of etiquette that: yes, 99% of the time it's pretty damn rude to think what you want to talk about with someone is more important than anything they could possibly be up to at that moment. Because that's what cold calling someone without arranging it first really is, when you boil it down
I get how you feel, but the social construct around mobile communication communications started to evolve very quickly, and then mid 90s. I know, because I was there. From when and where and why to call someone on their cell phone, when texting was appropriate, and a lot more stuff on top of that that has continued to evolve even until today.
The social etiquette has evolved, but I also relate to something else that may be affecting you: getting a little older. Not being so “in touch“ with the goings on, that you feel a little bit left behind. I can definitely relate to that.
Every issue you raised in your comment is actively being worked on/improved, it’s just that not everybody is up on the latest ways to deal with all of that. But there are ways to do with that, too.
