How Apple wants to stop the calls that bother you by copying a Google function
It should be noted that Apple has mainly copied one of the functions of Google here, introduced from 2018. It is Google “Hold for Me” that here becomes “hold assist”.
Keep assist: your personal anti-successful assistant
With iOS 26, Apple Hold Assist introduces, a function that automatically checks your place in the telephone quarrel. Specifically, as soon as your call changes to the waiting mode, the iPhone detects the situation and takes over.
Hold Assist uses artificial intelligence to analyze the audio signals of your call. The AI ​​recognizes the typical patterns of waiting music, the pre -recorded messages (“Your call is important for us”) and the sound instructions that announce the approaching recovery of the conversation.
In the meantime, you can freely use your iPhone for something else: consult your e -mails, navigate on the internet and even make other phone calls. Hold Assist Works in the background and constantly analyzes the audio flow to detect the moment at which an operator resumes the line.
Intelligent reconnection
When Hold Assist detects that an operator is about to answer you, various things happen:
- A discrete report warns you
- The iPhone sends a robot -like vote to customer service: “The caller arrives, wait a minute”
- You have a few seconds to resume the call before the normal conversation was resumed
This approach avoids the most important pitfall: that the operator hangs up to think that you have left.
At the moment we do not know whether Hold Assist will be one of the activated or deactivated functions of iOS 26 in France and in the European Union.
