## What is Block The Calls?

Block The Calls is for the moment a strange number lights up your phone. Before you pick up, the caller is asked who they are and why they are calling. You learn that, and you decide whether the call is worth your time.

A spam or scam label still lets the phone ring. It cannot tell a pharmacy from someone pretending to be the IRS, Social Security, tech support, or a relative in trouble. A blunt block can also hide the call you needed: a doctor, a school, a caregiver, a job. Block The Calls is built for the calls in between. Unfamiliar callers explain themselves. People you choose can still reach you.

The harm is real. In 2025, people 60 and older filed 201,266 complaints with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center and reported $7.75 billion lost. In 2024, among older adults who reported losing at least $10,000 to a business or government impersonator, 41% of those scams began with a phone call. No app stops every one of those calls. This one gives you the reason for the call before the pressure starts.

IN THE APP

- Unfamiliar callers are asked who they are and why they are calling, before you decide to pick up.
- Save the people who should be able to reach you, and choose how unwanted numbers are handled.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb when you want quiet. Unknown callers go to voicemail. Numbers you mark exempt can still get through.
- Review your call history, including calls that were stopped before they connected.
- Listen to voicemail, and set the greeting callers hear.

YOUR PHONE STAYS YOUR PHONE

Emergency calls and ordinary outbound calls stay in the iPhone Phone app. Your number, your texts, and 911 stay with your phone and your carrier. Block The Calls screens incoming calls. It does not place calls for you.

AN HONEST LIMIT

No screening service catches every bad call. Caller ID can be faked, and a convincing voice is not proof of who is on the line. Save the numbers that matter, and check missed calls and voicemail. Block The Calls does not sell your information.

The app is free to download. There are no in-app purchases. Available in the United States. Requires a BlockTheCalls.com subscription.
