Premium Answering Machine Detection (AMD) now detects iOS Call Screening, including iOS Live Voicemail, in real time during outbound calls. The new signal helps outbound dialers and Voice AI agents identify when a call has entered a screening flow, so they can decide whether to keep going, retry later, or wait until a human is actually on the line.
answering_machine_detection to premium.Outbound calls increasingly land in screening flows instead of going straight to a person or a traditional voicemail greeting. iOS Live Voicemail, carrier spam filtering, and on-device screening all change what happens after answer. The call may be connected and audio may be flowing, but a human may not be listening yet.
Premium AMD gives developers a real-time signal for this screened-call state. That helps teams reduce wasted agent time, avoid unnecessary Voice AI runtime, and build outbound workflows that match how people answer calls today.
