This is still not fixed in iOS 18.2. We've tested several call blocking apps and this behavior of calls appearing as "unanswered" still exists in all of them.
This change is having a significant negative impact on our business:
We're receiving numerous negative reviews
Users are uninstalling our app
Our support team is overwhelmed with complaints
This system-level change has severely impacted user trust in call blocking apps and is causing real business damage to developers.

Dear Kevin,
thanks for your response, we already filed a report about this (FB15163490).
I'd like to share some concerns:
Many of our users are confused by this behavior, expecting blocked calls to disappear entirely.
Showing blocked calls as unanswered seems to go against the user's intent when blocking a number.
Would it be possible to reconsider this design decision?
Perhaps offering a user setting to choose whether blocked calls appear as unanswered could be a good compromise.
