I used Robokiller on my old Samsung Galaxy S10+ but upgraded to Galaxy S24+.   I have set ALL MY SETTING to block spam calls, etc.  

Consumer Cellular, my carrier has been no help.  Robokiller worked. 

THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S24+ SPAM BLOCKER DOES NOT.

The problem is there is NO OPTION on the Galaxy S24+ to use a 3rd party app to block the spam calls.

WHAT IS SAMSUNG GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?

Go to Phone app > Three dots > Settings > Block numbers > Block calls from unknown numbers

It does let you choose 3rd party apps.

Settings > apps > choose default apps.

Nope. You're wrong. Did you press the phone app and where is the option? Because when I had the Robokiller app on the 24+, and I went to settings to use it as my default there was NO OPTION to use it. And when I called my carrier, Consumer Cellular, they ALSO told me that the new 24+ NO LONGER HAS THE OPTION TO USE A 3RD PARTY APP to block spam. So you're mistaken.

You are mistaken.

Are you using the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus?

Because there are NO options to use a third party phone blocker as a default

Why?  Because Hiya is INTEGRATED into the Samsung Galaxy and that is what they are using to "supposedly" block phone calls not listed in my contacts.  And it is doing a horrible job because unknown phone calls are coming through.

No it doesn't. Are you using a 24 plus? Even called my carrier and they told me that the 24+ DOESN'T ALLOW another spam call app to be the default. So misinformation again.
