Apple moved the Silence Unknown Callers switch and did not bother to change the instructions in their help & manuals. Grrrrrrrr
Settings; Apps (at the very bottom); Phone; Silence Unknown Callers which is near the bottom.

I think I’ve had it set a long time, but I see it’s off now after the 18.9.1 update, but I didn’t check before updating, so can’t guess when the change was made. But with a variety of new contacts, labs, Dr’s help, etc. I’ll leave it off for now. Emails, texts seem to cover new connections OK…
Email, haven’t tried a on the iPhone, but Rules in Outlook shuffle non-contacts off to the Delete folder, a quick scan lets me add new contacts, or try to Block annoying Junk… For some reason, some of the campaign emails come in multiples, server hiccups, maybe, Emptying that folder clears it all out…
I find the right phrase in a search finds the answers faster than manuals… rephrasing helps…

Well Apple is not a bad as I painted them. What I reported is what happen to me. But an hour later my iPhone had “learned” the various menu items.
Maybe the AI undercover work is happening…

Depends on what one considers AI.
I suspect the system was going through a task list much like Spotlight goes through the file structure on a Mac.

Yes, indexing. auditing, so access points can be located faster… A ton of stuff is going on behind the scenes we see up top, occasionally I’ll open the Console, watch the stream of activities of our MacOS, maybe pick one, do a search on it, see if it relates to particular application or is just housekeeping… All that is kind of why I leave my Mac running overnight, let those audits run… I do reboot once in a while, helps to clear some of the caches I think. Could be wrong, but, the cost is minimal…

I believe Apple’s current recommendation is against daily shutdowns.

Our WeCo/Lucent Electronic Switches, ESS, Unix based, were built to last, like even the older switches, 50 years or more, and it’s Unix software was constantly doing audits, verifications, reporting the more important problems, to be chased down, fixed, or maybe software updates were needed if not simple patches in it’s day to day operations… Sadly in a way, ll those mult-million dollar switches are now obsolete, replaced by data/voip systems… Fun while it lasted, the excitement of that first call through the new switch, all the problems chased away, load testing stirred other issues to be fixed before the turnover to the customer… Different world today for sure…
