Phone - Make Calls Fight Spam 0.34

Phone is a privacy-focused dialer app that prioritizes user confidentiality. The app aids in combating spam calls by enabling users to report suspicious callers to the relevant authorities, minimizing the incidence of such calls.

Phone takes a unique approach to caller identification by refraining from data harvesting on users' contacts. Unlike typical caller ID apps, Phone does not require access to personal information such as contacts, call history, or location. It features an 'Unknown Caller Blocking' function from the outset, allowing users to block calls from unfamiliar numbers without compromising their privacy.

Additionally, Phone enhances user experience by incorporating entertaining elements, such as assigning random avatars to contacts and calls. The app intuitively arranges frequently contacted individuals into a 'Circle' for convenient one-touch dialing. It also offers reminders to help users stay connected with their 'Circle' contacts.

Privacy Oath
Phone upholds a strict policy of not transmitting any data over the internet, ensuring that user information remains secure and confidential. The app does not collect any information that its creators are not willing to share themselves, underscoring its commitment to user privacy.
