• Custom voicemail greetings.
• Automatic Mic Mode picks the right Mic Mode for you. Voice Isolation blocks out ambient noise and spotlights your voice. Wide Spectrum will leave ambient noises unfiltered, allowing your voice and all the sounds around you to be heard.

• Blocked Contacts allows you to identify unwanted callers and blocks phone and FaceTime calls from those numbers.
• A range of ringtones and vibrations allow you to choose distinct alerts for certain people.
• Wi-Fi Calling lets you make or receive a phone call on a Wi-Fi connection, so you can stay connected in areas with little or no cellular coverage.*

### 1/5 — BAD

*2026-08-19, version 2.7*

This is so bad it doesn’t even call. I tried to call, but it doesn’t let me one star

### 3/5 — Way to sensitive

*2026-08-18, version 2.7*

80% of your screen is covered by contacts and one misclick and suddenly you're trying to explain to the group chat about why you called them at midnight. Make a window that makes sure that's who you want to call but don't include it on the number pad. Only in the call center can you do a misclick and call your boss from work

### 1/5 — I didn’t want this app. How did it end up on my iPad that multiple people are using…

*2026-08-18, version 2.7*

I didn’t want this app. How did it end up on my iPad that multiple people are using…this is major security concern that this ended up on my iPad without my permission. Also I can’t remove this. It is like a virus. I don’t want everyone’s access to my phone records. Why would they do this?
