Call Shield, rahatsız eden telefon numaralarını iOS'un Arama Rehberi (Call Directory) uzantısıyla cihazınızda engeller. NE YAPAR • Engelle: eklediğiniz numaradan gelen arama hiç çalmaz, sesli mesaja da düşmez • Etiketle: arama çalar, ama gelen arama ekranında sizin yazdığınız etiket görünür • Ülke kodu olmadan yazdığınız numaralar seçtiğiniz varsayılan ülke koduyla tamamlanır • Listeyi tek dokunuşla iPhone'a yeniden yükleyin • Kurulum sekmesi, uzantıyı açmak için adım adım yol gösterir GİZLİLİK Listeniz yalnızca bu iPhone'da, uygulama ile uzantısının paylaştığı korumalı alanda tutulur. Hiçbir sunucuya gönderilmez. Call Shield sizi kimin aradığını göremez, arama geçmişinizi okuyamaz ve kişilerinize erişmez. Hesap yok, reklam yok, analiz yok. KURULUM Ayarlar > Uygulamalar > Telefon > Arama Engelleme ve Kimlik bölümünden Call Shield'i açın, sonra uygulamada "Listeyi iPhone'a yeniden yükle"ye dokunun. NOT iOS, engelleme listelerinin cihazda tutulmasını zorunlu kılar; bu yüzden Call Shield hazır bir spam veritabanı sunmaz, sizin belirlediğiniz numaralarla çalışır.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Laundry Lens at none against Call Shield's shown. Call Shield's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
