My browser app is Firefox; and I think Caller ID & spam app should be
Phone, or you don't have spam blocking function. "Digital Assistant" is
supplied by phone developer, a voice assistant.

I do not know what the correct setting is for Caller ID & spam apps.

I ran a google play store search for free "spam blocker" apps without ads.
These are the only apps showing up as both free & ad free in that search.

Given the Google Play search filters are generally perfect but my search
terms are imperfect (for example, "spam blocker" or "caller id" searches),
there are probably other free & ad free apps which can do callerid tasks.

I don't know how they work.
Maybe they intercept the call before you get it?

Likewise, I'm not sure what the Digital Assistant is supposed to be set to.

In my search for a free & ad free "digital assistant" on Google Play
only two apps showed up but I'm would think "Automate" would also work.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googleassistant
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theflutterist.alfred

What is a digital assistant supposed to do for you?

Logic is the chastity belt of the mind!
