Whoscall is an Android communication app developed by Gogolook. It provides tools for identifying and blocking suspicious phone numbers and messages, with the aim of helping users feel more secure when receiving calls and texts. The app is listed at version 8.40 with a size of 46M.
The app combines caller identification, blocking, a built-in dialer, SMS scanning, and spam reporting. It relies on information collected from users and other sources to identify unknown numbers and messages.
Caller ID and Blocking
Whoscall offers features for handling unfamiliar phone numbers. It can identify and block numbers that are suspicious or that the user finds annoying. The app supports blocking an unlimited number of incoming phone numbers. According to the source, data sources from many contributors help prevent scams from succeeding.
SMS Identification and Blocking
The app includes SMS identification and blocking. Blocking can be done quickly in a few steps. The source describes three factors for blocking: personal numbers, numbers not in the phonebook, and international numbers. There are three corresponding block features for these objects. The source notes that users may need to consider enabling all three for an absolute lock. It also states that there are no unified rules for what to block or prioritize, and users must choose based on their situation.
Numbers that frequently call without meaning can be blacklisted immediately. The app also includes a scanning feature for messages, which the source says can help protect information.
Built-in Dialer with Call Interface
Whoscall includes a built-in dialer with a call interface. When a call comes in, the screen shows buttons for handling it. The app can determine the identity of an unknown number based on its data. The source explains that when many users report a number as problematic, it can be placed on a blacklist. The number of blacklisted numbers is diverse and increases over time. Users can report any number, though the source notes that users do not receive a response because there are silences.
Spam Reporting
Based on information collected from users and various sources, Whoscall can help identify the purpose of strange numbers. If a number appears normal, users can call back with confidence. If the search information indicates commercial purposes or something else, users can continue their work without worry. This recognition applies to both calls and messages. Messages are also a place where scams or information theft can occur. Through reporting phone numbers and messages, the rate of being scammed can become less than before. The source states that many users are protected and that you could become the next target if you do not try to install the app.
Whoscall Premium
The source describes Premium-related features. Scanning phone numbers sent in messages is a feature that comes with call information recognition. Scanning messages is useful when scammers switch to sending messages containing malicious code. Messages impersonating an agency are also possible. Users can check before clicking any link and report the phone number if needed. Expanded data allows users to receive data updates even when offline to prevent bad calls. For messages with URLs attached, the app can automatically scan and ensure information security and avoid spreading malicious code.
