I recently noticed that the phone app on my Samsung android phone has a built in setting to block spam calls. Apparently, it uses the “Hiya” app. I turned it on and I no longer get 5-8 telemarketing calls every day. But, there doesn’t seem to be any way to know which calls have been blocked by the app and when they were blocked. Has anyone else used this setting, and have you missed any important calls by mistake?

I've used Hiya for awhile now. I'm not aware of any important missed calls.
I seem to get fewer telemarketer/spam/scam.
