ScreenMeld blocks spam and scam calls before your phone rings, and labels the ones worth a second look — using a community database that grows every time someone reports a number. BLOCK SPAM AUTOMATICALLY - High-confidence spam numbers are blocked by iOS on the native call screen - Your personal blocklist goes to iOS as well - Blocking keeps working whether or not the app is open LABEL SUSPICIOUS CALLERS - Reported numbers show a "Spam" label on the incoming-call screen - Labels name the pattern: robocall, fake tech support, tax-office impersonation, loan offer - Updated as the community reports new numbers LOOK UP A NUMBER - Check any unknown number before you call back - See how many people reported it, and what for - Report a number in two taps and help everyone else COMMUNITY SCAM DATABASE - Built from reports by the people using the app - AI flags new scam patterns as they appear: gift-card demands, tax-office impersonation, family-emergency scams - Refreshes in the background so your call screen stays current AI CALL COACH - Ask whether a number is worth calling back - Learn how a scam script works before it reaches you - Straight answers, no jargon WHAT iOS ALLOWS Apple does not let any app answer or listen to a call, so ScreenMeld does not claim to. On iPhone it does what iOS does allow, and does it properly: blocking, labelling and lookup through the system call directory. PRIVACY & SECURITY - Email + 6-digit code, Google Sign-In, or Apple Sign-In - Your contact list is never uploaded - Reported numbers are stored hashed - We never sell your data SUBSCRIPTION Free: - Core spam blocking - Up to 5 blocked numbers Premium (monthly US$7.99 or yearly US$39.99 — local price shown at purchase): - Unlimited blocked numbers - The full community scam database on your call screen - Unlimited number lookups - AI Call Coach - 7-day free trial Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
