What Whoscall is

Whoscall is an Android and iOS app for identifying callers and blocking spam and scam calls. It identifies callers in real time, including personal contacts, businesses, and suspected scams. Its scam checks examine phone numbers, links, and screenshots against trusted data to flag potential risks. Whoscall says its phone-number database contains more than 2.6 billion entries. Users can report scams, earn points and badges, and contribute to community information. Scam SOS offers one-tap access to bank hotlines and online scam reports, while Voice Alerts provide audio warnings about suspected scam calls; availability for both varies by region. The free plan includes caller ID, call blocking, checks for phone numbers, URLs, and screenshots, plus scam reports and rewards. Paid Individual, Duo, and Family plans add account sharing, automatic number database updates, an SMS assistant, an ad-free experience, and automatic spam blocking; Live Caller ID Plus is for iOS 18 or later. Businesses can apply for Verified Business Number to display a verified company name and logo on caller ID. That option requires a minimum purchase of six months. Whoscall was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan.
