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.

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.
