Phone Calls and Blocked Numbers

[stressed]

Equipment: iPhone 11 Pro
Software Version: 14.0.1

A few questions if you don't mind:

1) It used to be in iOS version 13, whenever you received an incoming phone call you could see what city the phone call is from. You could then make a decision whether or not to answer the call seeing you might or might not know someone in that city. Now in version 14, all it shows is the the number and United States. Is there any way to know what city an incoming call is coming from in iOS 14.0.1?

2) I would like to sort my blocked numbers, whether they be in ascending or descending order. It's much easier to find a phone number this way. Is there a way to sort blocked numbers?

3) Sometimes you get a phone call that comes up Unknown. Of course there is no phone number associated with this Unknown caller. Is there a way to block this Unknown call? I would like to be granular and just block this incoming Unknown call.

Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks.

1. Don't know.

2. Not that I know of.

3. You can silence unknown callers in ios settings. Many carriers have an app that can block fraud/spam risk calls. With AT&T they have an option to send unknown callers to voicemail (same thing Silence Unknown Callers in ios does), not sure if other carriers offer option to block unknown callers or this option.

3) Silence Unknown Callers actually silences calls from those numbers that are not in your contact list. I would like these to ring through though. I only want to block the Unknown callers. Is there a way to just silence Unknown callers?

Then you will have to find a call blocking app that will do that or explore your carriers call blocking options.

There is a setting to silence unknown callers. It's in the phone settings.
It doesn't ring and sends them straight to voicemail if that helps.

It seems that iOS 14.1 mentions that as one of the issues it fixes.
