Ayan stops unsolicited real-estate, marketing, and business spam calls before your phone rings. Built specifically for UAE property owners. Operated by Yazdan Properties. HOW IT WORKS • A curated database of super-huge known spam callers is downloaded to your phone the first time you sign in. • Apple's Call Blocking & Identification system uses this list to silently reject calls — they never ring, they never appear in your notifications. • Identified spam calls show "Ayan: Spam Caller" in your Recents, so you can see what was blocked. • The list updates automatically as new spam numbers are reported. PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN • No call audio, no SMS content, no contacts list, no GPS, no payments — Ayan never touches any of it. • Your data stays under your control. In-app one-tap export. In-app one-tap account deletion. • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information. Ever. • UAE PDPL aligned. COMMUNITY-VERIFIED BLOCKING Anyone in the Ayan community can report a number they believe is sending spam. Reports are reviewed against a community threshold — no single user can add a number unilaterally, so the list stays clean and accurate. YOUR PERSONAL WHITELIST Numbers you trust always get through, regardless of what's on the global blocklist. Family, friends, and legitimate business contacts won't be silenced. BUILT-IN UAE MORTGAGE CALCULATOR Bonus: Ayan includes a mortgage calculator powered by Yazdan's property expertise. Quickly estimate monthly payments, total interest, and amortization schedules — handy when you're deciding whether to buy. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone running iOS 15 or later • To activate: Settings → Phone → Call Blocking & Identification → toggle "Ayan" ON. The app walks you through this on first launch. ABOUT YAZDAN PROPERTIES Ayan is operated by Yazdan Properties, a UAE-based real-estate company. We built Ayan because we kept hearing the same complaint from property owners: "I get 10–20 unsolicited agent calls a day." Ayan is our answer — built by people who understand the problem first-hand.

Nixring is the privacy-first way to stop spam calls and scam texts on your iPhone, and it does it all on your device. YOUR CONTACTS AND BLOCKLIST STAY LOCAL Your contacts and blocklist are never uploaded. No account is needed. The Pro blocklist update downloads a public file. The free version loads advertising from Google, and Nixring Pro removes it. Nixring never even asks for access to your contacts. BLOCK SPAM CALLS AUTOMATICALLY Nixring silences known spam and scam callers using an on-device blocklist. Add your own numbers, and with Pro, keep the list updated automatically. KILL JUNK AND SCAM TEXTS Turn on Nixring's on-device SMS filter and scam texts (smishing) from unknown senders move to a Junk folder automatically. Message content is never stored or sent anywhere. Ever. NEVER LOSE A REAL CALL Whitelist the people you trust and they are never blocked. Everything Nixring blocks is reversible in one tap. No "we don't remove spam flags" nonsense. ONE FAIR PRICE The free version is paid for by ads, and Pro removes them. No confusing bundle of add-ons. Nixring Pro is one honest subscription with a 3-day free trial. NIXRING FREE - Automatic spam-call blocking with the built-in list - Add up to 10 of your own numbers - See how many numbers are shielding you NIXRING PRO (3-day free trial) - Unlimited blocked numbers - Junk and scam text filtering - Auto-updating spam blocklist - Block whole prefixes and number ranges - Whitelist real callers - Full protection stats Setup takes a minute. Nixring walks you through enabling it in Settings. A note on how iOS works: Apple limits how third-party apps block calls, so Nixring works from an on-device list rather than screening calls live. iOS also never reports blocked calls back to apps, so no honest app can show a real "calls blocked" count. Nixring shows how many numbers are actively shielding you, plus a real count of texts filtered.
