    I don’t know what kind of voicemail you’re referring to, the one provided by networks over here just sends the caller to voicemail if you don’t pick up, you will get a text later.

    There may be a different voicemail service where you live (visual voicemail?) that I have no experience using.

    Then there’s Call Screening that android had indeed been had for a while, but it doesn’t record a message, it’s a back and forth interactive conversation and you can see the transcript in real time.

      I guess it’s called Live Voicemail and it’s been on iPhones since iOS 17.

      I just assumed it was some Android feature first and they were 5 years behind implementing like so many other things on the iPhone.

        Android kinda has that. There’s call screen where the phone asks why you’re calling and the user can follow along, potentially pressing a button to prompt for more details, to pickup, or to send the caller to voicemail.

        It’s integrated into the spam blocking. Usually spam calls just don’t say anything so it hangs up on them, so I don’t actually know how it would handle a human telemarketer.
