Has anyone realized call screening essentially functions as a form of a relay service or TTY? Siri answers the call and transcribes what the caller is saying. You can type a response and Siri will speak it back to the caller. This can only be done for incoming calls that aren't in your contacts; but imagine if users could do this for all calls, incoming or outgoing. It would be a great accessibility feature for those that have hearing or speech disabilities.

Do you think Apple would ever expand this feature so that it can be used on any call? Are there apps out there that can do this already? Another benefit is that it would add privacy since you're no longer talking to an intermediary. It's also 2025...I think our phones could handle this task, especially now that we've seen it in action with Call Screening.
