You create, import, and manage your own custom blocklists and number ranges.

No login required, and no data is transmitted — your privacy stays completely protected. - Flexible Custom Lists: Easily create, import, and manage your own custom blocklists and identification ranges. Important Notes: - No Pre-packaged Database: Call Shield does not provide a pre-installed spam database; you need to add your own numbers, prefixes, or lists. - Voicemail Handling: Blocked calls may still be forwarded to voicemail, depending on your mobile carrier’s policies. - Do Not Disturb Mode: If Do Not Disturb mode is active, blocked calls may still appear silently on your Home screen or in Recents. - Extension Setup: If Call Shield extensions don't appear immediately after updating rules, open Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification to verify they are enabled.
