I wish Apple would natively support more filtering options. Same with the Phone app. I get a dozen calls a day from “Spam” or “Political” callers yet I can’t ignore or send them to voicemail. I can send every unknown number to voicemail but that’s too heavy handed to ever work. There’s a lot of valid communication with folks that I never add to my contacts, I shouldn’t have to add them to my contacts proactively just to get their initial call. I never usually know what number they’d be calling me from.

It’s the same with texts. They could filter these in a more useful way. Also, IMO, I shouldn’t see a counter bubble if I filtered out/missed a call that went to voicemail. I’m an inbox zero type and having bubbles means there’s something that needs attention. Spam doesn’t need attention.
