RIP Call Screening - every spammer rings my phone now and requires my action to ignore

Ran the August update 8/5/26 evening and got three spam calls before I got out of bed the next morning.

No call screening at all, and it is no longer an option in the Google Phone settings, just 'Caller ID & spam'

Phone app version 231.0.952419094

This was a key feature that kept me in the Pixel ecosystem.

**UPDATE:** per comment by u/derff44, I went to Phone > Settings > Caller ID & spam and disabled it, as well as Scam Detection.

Set the Pixel down for a few minutes, came back and opened the Phone app, which now prompted me to enable those features, which I did.

Checked again and now Call Screen is on the list, which was not there previously.
