Call Forwarding not working on iOS 17.
Apple's 'Live Voicemail' is a new feature introduced in iOS 17 that provides real-time transcription of voicemails as they are being recorded. However, when enabled, this feature can interfere with third-party call screening apps like Vida by rerouting calls away from them. To ensure Call Forwarding to Vida functions effectively, you need to disable Live Voicemail in iOS. This can be done by going to 'Settings', selecting 'Phone', tapping on 'Live Voicemail', and then switching the toggle to the off position.
