iOS 26: 10+ Features Coming to the Phone App

The call screen for a contact has become so difficult. So many buttons, a picture, a background image, texts and options. I want to hit ONE easy big button to CALL the contact. I have to look now where to press every time I want to call someone. It’s can progress imho.


Call screening is nice, but here in the Netherlands people don’t understand and hang-up, call again, hang-up and third time wait. That feels not good from my side. An also, this function only works in your home country. When you are travelling and thus roaming on another GSM network it does not work anymore.

Will all of these be supported in other countries/languages?. Or is a USA only feature?. Need carrier support?

Call screening and hold Assist are the features I’m looking forward to the most. They have been on the pixel/galaxy phones for a few years and I’ve been patiently waiting for them to come to the iPhone.

Agree, they are the only thing I really miss from moving away from Android. This might push me over the edge to have me upgrade devices this year.
