LoopCall — Your Calls, Your Rules Tired of scam calls, spam calls and robocalls interrupting your day? LoopCall is an AI call blocker and call screener for iPhone. It blocks known scam numbers before they ring and puts an AI screener between you and every other unknown caller, so you only pick up the calls that matter. HOW IT WORKS Known scam and spam numbers are blocked the moment they call, right on your iPhone, even with no signal. When you decline or miss any other call from an unknown number, your carrier forwards it to LoopCall. Known scammers get our AI, which keeps them talking and wastes their time instead of yours. Everyone else can leave you a message. LoopCall records it, transcribes it and checks it for scam patterns, then sends you a notification with who called and why, without you ever picking up the phone.

LoopCall still screens them for you AI CALL SCREENING FOR EVERY UNKNOWN CALLER • Smart screening is automatic, with no modes to set up • Read a transcript of exactly what the caller said before you decide to call back • Callers who speak another language are transcribed too • Listen to the recording any time KNOW WHO CALLED AND WHY • Every call gets a clear risk level: Scam, High Risk, Caution or Looks Safe • See the real reason, like loan offers, fake IRS or tax calls, Medicare and health insurance scams, car warranty calls, fake bank or fraud alerts, delivery scams, prize scams and tech support scams • Political calls, campaign calls and polls are labeled so you know what they are • Spot spoofed numbers, telemarketers, phishing and social engineering attempts at a glance SCAM RADAR • See which phone scams are active right now and what's rising • Live totals of calls screened for all LoopCall users and for you • Simple tips to stay safe from each type of scam WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE LOOPCALL • Works with your carrier's built-in call forwarding: no extra hardware, no SIM swap and no new phone number • Protection you can trust: one test call confirms that blocking and screening really work on your phone • Every scam you report helps protect other LoopCall users • Your time, your rules: never waste another minute on a scammer, telemarketer or robocall GETTING STARTED Setup takes about a minute.
