Go straight to voicemail. Skip the ringing. Skip the conversation. When you dial with WhatCall, the call goes straight to voicemail instead of ringing the phone. It still comes from your own number, and on supported networks will even show a missed call. Say what you need to say, on your terms. HOW IT WORKS Dial the number in WhatCall as you normally would. WhatCall puts you through to voicemail. Leave your message and you’re done. WHEN TO USE IT • Calling in sick. Let your boss know you won’t be in without a round of questions. • Short on time. Return a call without getting pulled into a half hour chat. • They’re busy. In a meeting, driving, putting the baby down. Leave a message instead of trying to catch them at a bad time. • Too long for a text. Say it in 20 seconds instead of typing a paragraph. WHERE IT WORKS • Mobile and landline numbers with voicemail • Automatic dialling code detection for supported countries • Dial in your usual local format where supported • Some networks also send a missed call text alert WhatCall is free to download. Calls use credits available to buy in the app. The number you call must have voicemail. Behaviour varies by network and settings.

About

Consenthush

Features
Read full description

Consenthush is a focused Safari content blocker for cookie banners, consent-management scripts, newsletter overlays, open-in-app prompts, floating chat widgets and notification nags. SELECTIVE SITE POLICIES When a site needs special treatment, you do not have to turn every filter off. Create a policy that bypasses only the troublesome categories on that site while your other protections stay on. A full-site bypass is available when it is genuinely needed, and policies cover the domain and its subdomains. INSPECT BEFORE YOU APPLY Paste a domain or URL into the on-device Policy Inspector to see which protections stay active there and which categories a site policy bypasses. No page is opened and no browsing activity is collected. TRANSPARENT RULES - Six individually controlled categories - Hides page overlays and prompts with Safari's cosmetic rules - Blocks scripts from 16 widely used third-party consent-management hosts at the network level (the list is shown in the app) - Category-level site compatibility policies - Live counts for rules, selectors, hosts and active categories - Exact preview of the JSON rule list Safari receives - Clear extension status and setup guidance GOOD TO KNOW - After installing, turn on Consenthush under Settings > Apps > Safari > Extensions, then tap Apply to Safari in the app. - Consenthush hides banners built with the consent frameworks and common banner markup it lists. A site with its own custom banner may still show it, and hiding a banner does not accept or reject anything on your behalf. - Blocking a consent script can stop a few sites from working properly; a site policy for that site fixes it. PRIVACY Consenthush uses Safari's declarative content-blocker engine. The extension cannot read your browsing history or page contents. Your settings stay on your device in the app's shared container. No account, advertising, analytics, tracking, subscription or developer server.
