Question Call Screening Option Disappeared? - Google Pixel 6

Anyone else's Call Screening option recently disappear from the phone app? I only noticed after I received a call yesterday and there was no option to screen.
The only "special" options showing are Caller ID & Spam and Direct My Call
I have tried clearing the phone app's storage, uninstalling all updates, left the beta, clearing data again, and nothing will bring it back.

Look at this:
Google Pixel 6 Hold For Me & Call Screen features disabled
Google Pixel 6 users are reporting that the Call Screen and Hold For Me features are nowhere to be seen after the December update.

I noticed this today when my phone rang with a spam call for the first time in..... I don't even know.... Lol I hope it doesn't take too long to fix whatever the problem was. It's one of my favorite pixel features

Found Google's post about it. sadge

[Q] Galaxy S3 call waiting dialog box problem ~ any workaround?

I've got gs3 and i love it to every bit. although, there is just one problem that i'm not able to solve.
Call waiting is activate don my phone and i receive all my calls while I'm on another active call. But when i get a new call, I swipe the green button and I get a new dialog box named "accept call after" which shows the option to 'end' the previous call or to to keep it on 'hold'. Now, at times I forget about it and it takes time that every now and then I miss that call.
I have tried numerous third-party dialer but they do not override the default dialer screen, so i was wondering if there is a trick/workaround so that I would be able to simply take the new call and my previous call goes to 'hold' by default?
i have had this feature on almost every phone that I have owned till now. using an aosp/aokp rom seems to be another solution, but it would be the last thing i would want to do..
thanks

Always have '1 New Voicemail' notification - Can I freeze Phone Services?

So after installing TWRP and flashing a ROM on my phone back in December, I constantly have a notification on my phone from Phone Services telling me I have one new voicemail when my inbox is empty. What's annoying is that it randomly 'refreshes' making the notification noise, so I am forced to keep it on vibrate otherwise I have to listen to that notification going off all day long. I have lived with it for the past 3 months, but have recently realized when I do get voicemails, it never updates the number it always just says one voicemail. It's really frustrating too b/c I live in a rural area where I sometimes don't have reception and if I get a call it never shows up and if they leave a voicemail I'm not notified unless I actually check it.
I have tried clearing data and cache as well as force stopping in the settings and it will automatically come back within a few minutes. I have set the Phone Services notifications to 'Don't show notifications at all', but it completely ignores it. I have tried switching to Google Voice from Sprint Voicemail and it still appears. I tried switching back to Sprint Voicemail and it's still there. I have flashed new builds of the ROM multiple times and it still shows up, usually about an hour or two after flashing. The only thing I haven't done at this point is use the LGFlashTool to completely vert back to factory which I'm avoiding because of the time/effort and the lingering feeling it still won't fix it.
Before going thru that, I was wondering if I could potentially freeze Phone Services with Ice Box and migrate to use Google Voice for voicemail. Does anyone know if this is ok or will it brick my phone?
Any input is appreciate!
UPDATE: On Wednesday I had a random reboot while using my phone and after booting back up I no longer saw the notificiation. It's been several days since then, booth rebooting the phone and using voicemail and still have not got the notification back. Only thing I have noticed is that it no longer gives a notification at all if I get a voicemail, but since I get a text alert I'm not too concerned.
Unfortunately, if somebody else encounters this same issue it's not much help on why it occurred or how to fix it....

Missed call notification bug on Dual SIM S9+

On my dual SIM s9+ I seem to be experiencing a weird bug with missed call notifications. Quite often no notification are shown for not answered calls. I only realize that there was a missed call when I open the phone app.
I was not able to identify any clear pattern that leads to a bug but close to 50% of missed calls on my device do not result in a notification in the status bar and the on the always on display.
Anyone experiencing the same bug? Is there any workaround?
Same here. Unbranded DualSim S9+, ATO
Workaround:

This notification is not deleted.

Yes
Yes. I have also been facing the same issue since I bought this phone. I can barely get missed call notification...
Okay – I switched the Caller ID and spam protection to ‘off’ after reading about this on another forum and all is goos now. Tested with it ‘off’ and badge and notification shows....toggled it to ‘on’ and tested and it shat itself....must be a bug

Can you please share a link to the other forum where the issue is being discussed?
Thanks for the tip. I will test switching the caller id and spam protection off.
Same here. Someone did understand if it's a permanent bug or can be solved somehow
I had this exact problem, go into caller id and spam setting then select the 3 dots at the top and select stop using the service, it will then prompt you that it will delete all saved data select ok. Then switch it back on and it now works. So far this fix has worked all day. Let me know if this works for you and if it stops working ?
I tried all the remedy in this thread but still no luck, I got sake problem. No missed call notifications in my lock screen, or in small notifications bar at top after I unlocked phone.
same problem since the launch on March 9 .... scandalous and the last update of Friday does not solve the problem ...
No info? impossible to inform Samsung?
Thank you
I chat with super guys from Sammobile, he opened a poll and contact Samsung, vote on the site Sammobile history that Samsung sees that there are people who have this problem ...
Here is the link :

Nico.
I had the same thing. Called Verizon and they talked me through it. The option is hidden so deep I don't know how anybody would find it. Go to settings, notifications, advanced, then menu button at top right to show system apps. Mine had 3 Phone options, select the second one and there's an option to turn on missed call notifications. Vzw had me change the importance to Urgent.

Call History / Recent Calls Refuses to Display Actual Call history - Google and Stock

Hi All - I'm really hoping to get some ideas from the forum on this issue as it's been plaguing me for a while and I can't figure it out.
I have a Rooted Samsung S8+ on Nougat 7.0 which root was achieved flashing Partcyborg ROM through Odin. It's commonly used method for those that don't have S8+, the bootloader is locked though.
That being said my issue isn't with the rom / root method, it's with Google Dialer and the Stock Samsung Contacts / Phone application. For some reason I think the Call History backup is corrupt or something like that because no matter if it's an incoming or an outgoing call, my call history and recents menu in either application is blank. For example, if someone called me right now and I didn't answer, I'd see the call in the history as the only call but by the end of the day, or after a restart of the phone... My phone will show no recent calls and provide no record of call history for that call.
Even more strange, I do show a record of calls but they are 14-15 records of calls at random dates, I want to say the most recent is from April. No matter what, they always stay. DOesn't matter if data is cleared, cache is cleared, dalvik-cache wiped, preferences reset, app defaults reset, install/reinstall, install diff versions, change permissions, this happens.
I used SQLlite Browser to go into the database and the DB does show the records I talked about earlier, the 14-15 calls. I've even tried deleting the database in hopes that maybe it'd reset itself. Nope.
This behavior is persistent across device resets, it also occurs when I completely remove Google Dialer Framework and Google Dialer altogether. Im at a loss and trying not to get back to stock.
Any ideas as to where to dig further?

i don't want to lose warranty, security, know or frp.

I prefer to use Bixby to answer spam calls. This is one of the best features that Samsung has backed into One UI.

Can. You elaborate how please?
You can go into the phone and choose the hamburger option on it and choose Bixby text call.

It will be interesting to see comparison between Google Screen Call vs Bixby in action. Since I switched to Pixel 7 Pro and using Screen Call and so spam calls are less now. I hade before like about 12 calls per month now I have maybe one call per month. So on unknown numbers I use Screen call.

I don't think they really compare. On the Pixel the screener works automatically. On the Galaxy, you have to select it each time a call comes in. It's not very convenient to use at all because of it requiring input on each call. Until they make it work automatically, it won't compare to the Pixel's implementation. Also, for some reason, it doesn't work when you're on wifi calling.
