## What is Block?

Block-Spam stops spam calls, robocalls and unwanted numbers before your phone even rings — without uploading your contacts to anyone.

Built on Apple CallKit, Block-Spam works quietly in the background and keeps your data on your device. No account. No sharing your address book.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Block spam & scam calls automatically using a community-powered database
• Identify suspicious numbers so you know who's calling
• Block ranges of consecutive numbers with a single rule, using wildcards (Premium)
• Create your own personal block list
• Look up any number to check if it's been reported as spam
• Report nuisance numbers to help the community
• Filter spam text messages (SMS) into their own folder

PRIVACY FIRST
Block-Spam uses Apple's on-device call blocking. We don't upload your contacts and we don't sell your data. Number checks are handled securely.

HOW TO ACTIVATE (takes 15 seconds)
1. Open Settings › Phone › Call Blocking & Identification
2. Turn Block-Spam ON
That's it — you're protected.

PREMIUM — ULTIMATE PROTECTION (OPTIONAL)

• No ads
• Unlimited number lookups
• Wildcards: block a whole range of numbers with a single rule
