Free to try for 3 days, with a restricted phone number count. PROTECTION FEATURES - Block calls by prefix or pattern — stop spoofed numbers, robocalls, and telemarketers before they reach you. - Pre-configured prefixes for the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Chile, and India. - Add prefixes or patterns for any country, including satellite operators. - Community-reported spam numbers — benefit from numbers flagged by other WideProtect users. - One-tap blocking from Phone and Contacts via "Share Contact - Block in WideProtect."

WideProtect is free to download and try. A subscription or one-time lifetime license is required to continue using the app after the trial. SETUP After installing, grant permission to all WideProtect extensions via 'iPhone Settings -> Apps -> Phone -> Call Blocking & Identification.' 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. Payment is charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Account Settings. FEEDBACK & SUPPORT Email us at dodatoklab@gmail.com with any questions or issues.
