What's New in AT&T ActiveArmor℠
6.5.1
September 16, 2024
This 6.5.1 update for AT&T ActiveArmor has a new minimum iOS requirement of iOS 16.4. All new and existing users must ensure they are running the minimum iOS level or higher for the best user experience and continued support. This version also provides support for the iOS 18 update and associated changes with that update, as well as bug fixes. We value feedback from our app users and are constantly working to improve ActiveArmor. We encourage all our existing app users to update to version 6.5.1.
I’d prefer its predecessor. The amount of spam/scam calls I have had since getting this app is unbearable. The only way to stop them completely is a setting within the phone itself. By blocking ALL unknown numbers. Can’t do that though. I don’t program all numbers I call or have received calls from. So, does this app help? Maybe, maybe not! Either way in my opinion, it’s junk. With the money that I have forked out to AT&T, and I’m sure everyone else has as well. You’d think they’d be ahead of the curve.
(Edit) I have recently turned on a “focus” on my phone. Making it to where I still get the calls but they get forwarded to voicemail if I am not using my phone if I am not using it at that current moment. In the average day I get 8+ spam calls. Starting at about 8 am and not stopping till about 9 - 10 pm. As of writing this edit in is 1:30 in the afternoon and I have received 4 spam calls already. I still stand by what I previously said. Active armor is junk. The only thing that is more junk is the fact that we need junk protection to protect us from junk people.
(Edit 2) In the timespan of 52 hours I have received 26 calls that have thankfully been silenced due to my focus settings. An average of 1 call every 2 hours. ACTIVE ARMOR DOES NOTHING TO STOP SPAM CALLING!
