Hiya Spam Blocker
Hiya Spam Blocker is an Android and iOS app for identifying unknown callers and screening or blocking unwanted spam, telemarketing, and robocalls. Its free version provides spam and fraud alerts, caller ID for known businesses and spam numbers, spoof protection settings, and blocking settings. Premium adds automatic call blocking, reverse number lookup, enhanced caller ID, Call Screener, and more frequent spam updates on iPhone. Premium costs $3.99 a month or $24 a year, and a 7-day trial is listed. Features vary between platforms: automated call screening is listed for iOS, while visual voicemail is listed for Android. Call Screener requires Premium and is available in the US and Canada on supported carriers; Android requires one active SIM. Individual non-business number identification is a Premium feature and is unavailable in Europe due to privacy regulations. Hiya also describes real-time voice analysis that warns about suspected deepfake voices during calls. It says newly emerging or spoofed spam numbers may initially go unflagged, and withheld numbers cannot be individually identified or blocked.
