Stop spam calls before they ring. Silencer uses community intelligence to detect and automatically block spam calls on your iPhone — silently, in the background, with zero setup hassle. No sign-up. No email. No phone number required. WHY SILENCER? AUTOMATIC BLOCKING Spam calls are stopped before your phone ever rings. No action needed from you. TWO BLOCKING MODES Choose how Silencer protects you. Community Mode blocks numbers reported by the community with a high spam score. Personal Mode blocks only the numbers you have reported yourself — for maximum control. COMMUNITY-POWERED DATABASE Numbers reported by real users are scored using a Bayesian algorithm. False positives are automatically corrected by the community over time. BUILT FOR TURKEY Designed specifically for +90 numbers. Telemarketing, scam calls, robocalls — Silencer knows them all. PRIVACY FIRST No email. No phone number. No account. Open the app, complete a one-time setup, and you're protected. REPORT AND PROTECT Encountered a new spam number? Report it in one tap. Choose the category — robocall, scam, telemarketer — and your vote instantly affects the score for every user. You can also mark your reports as private if you prefer. LOOK UP ANY NUMBER Not sure about a caller? Search any phone number to see its current spam score, report count, category, and last update — all in real time. TRENDING SPAM NUMBERS See which numbers are being reported the most right now. Browse by most reported or most recent to stay ahead of new spam campaigns. MY REPORTS Review, edit, or delete every report you have ever submitted. Full transparency into your own contributions. ALWAYS UP TO DATE Turkey's most reported and most recent spam numbers, synced automatically in the background.
