“PrivacyStar uses larger databases of untrustworthy numbers to preemptively block calls from the outside.” – The Verge
"PrivacyStar won’t just tell you who it is, but also identify the caller indicating how likely they are to be an annoying telemarketer." – TechCrunch
But let’s get to the features:
🆓 Scam Likely Protection - We update our database EVERY. SIX. MINUTES. By the time you’ve watched a few TikToks, we’ve refreshed all of our data with the most accurate information to ensure you’re protected against scammers, spammers, and fraudulent callers.
✅ Enhanced Caller ID** - Never wonder who’s calling again! We’ll identify incoming calls with a Name, Category, even an Enhanced Image and Logo when available.
🆓 Reverse Number Lookup - Lookup any number. Go ahead, try it. PrivacyStar will display the owner of the number and an associated call category, if available.
🚫 Block By Category - Block telemarketers, account services, shady politicians - even your ex.
🛑 Prevent Callers from Leaving Voicemails** - Block calls and prevent new voicemails, or block calls and send them straight to voicemail. Your phone, your choice.
🔔 Notifications** - We’ll shoot you a notification when calls are blocked, sent to voicemail, even when you have new voicemails.
📉 Report Callers - File a report against abusive callers directly from the app! We’ll send those reports to the FTC, and they’ll put them on a bad guys list.
🚫 Custom Call Blocking - Add any number to your blocklist. Seriously, any of them.
🆓 Category ID - Displays the Call Category of the incoming call, if available.
🛡️ Protect Privacy - Your contact list? Not our business. We only use your contacts to help your incoming call experience - your contacts stay where they belong, on your phone.
