I am suddenly getting “spam likely“calls on my WiFi iPad Pro 11. They don’t ring on my iphone, just the iPad.
Is there anyway to stop this?

iPad Spam calls on ipad

Yes, I stopped forwarding calls to my iPad from my iPhone. Just got too annoying. :/
Gotta ask: have "Silence Unknown" turned on on iPhone?
Have not seen spam calls on my iPad and have above turned on.
Also: what call blocker does you cell service provider use? Is there an app you can download and set it so that spam calls get blocked or sent to voicemail?
Again, got an app (ATT's Call Protect) that filters out the known spam callers, so with the two pieces in place, my phone is pretty much silent these days.

Silence Unknown turned on iPhone. Still results in a full screen call notice on my iPad while iPhone ignores it. Been this way for several iOS/iPad OS versions now. :/
Next version of iPad OS will make it easier to ignore the call screens while currently they're full screen with only an accept option - very disruptive. I had to turn off call forwarding to my iPad for this reason.
I've actually preferred this setup (turning off call forwarding to iPad). I have an Apple Watch so I'm notified of important calls anyway but - not being bugged on my iPad has really helped because when I'm using my iPad I usually don't want to be interrupted anyway (books, movies, reading news articles, taking notes, etc).
