Halte écarte les appels de démarchage et les arnaques, en silence — sans publicité ni pistage. DÈS LE 11 AOÛT 2026, LA LOI EST DE VOTRE CÔTÉ La loi du 11 août 2026 interdit le démarchage téléphonique sans votre accord préalable. Halte applique ce droit concrètement : l'app bloque par défaut les numéros officiels de démarchage (préfixes ARCEP : 0162, 0270, 0377…). CE QUE FAIT HALTE • Bloque les appels de démarchage automatiquement après activation dans les réglages Téléphone. • Filtre les SMS d'arnaque (faux colis, faux impôts, fausse banque) restés sur votre appareil. • Vous explique calmement comment reconnaître une arnaque, avec lecture à voix haute. • Vous laisse ajouter vos propres numéros à bloquer. • Vous indique vers qui signaler (33700, SignalConso, Cybermalveillance). PENSÉE POUR LES PROCHES QU'ON VEUT PROTÉGER Gros boutons, texte large, langage clair, aucune manipulation piégeuse. Conçue avec et pour les personnes âgées et les aidants. VOTRE VIE PRIVÉE L'analyse des messages et de l'audio se fait sur l'appareil. Pas de compte Halte, de pistage ni de publicité. Le cercle familial est facultatif : seuls les numéros que vous y ajoutez sont partagés avec vos proches via iCloud ; votre liste personnelle reste privée. Développé en France.
