This is a thing. It's called Call Screening

I use it on android and most people just hang up.

But it's nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, me😊

Sounds nice, but usually when someone calls me, they need something quickly, and that would be really annoing. At least I'm lucky enough that people don't call me if they can send a text message instead.
