IMPORTANT NOTICES - Don't remove the app from memory while it's updating your blocking list — safe to remove afterward. - Since iOS 26: if you've called a number yourself, it won't be blocked until you delete that call from 'Phone' -> 'Recent.' - Blocked calls may be forwarded to voicemail, depending on your mobile operator — contact them for details. - If WideProtect extensions don't appear in iPhone Settings right away, add your prefix in the app, wait 1-2 minutes, then check Settings again. - WideProtect is available via auto-renewable subscription or one-time payment.
