  • CallApp for iPhone?

    Is CallApp available for iOS devices?

    Unfortunately, at the moment, CallApp is not available for iPhone or other iOS devices, but is on all Android devices.

  • Can anyone see my private information from social networks?

    The social information that is displayed for other people to see is subjected to the restrictions and permissions that you have defined in your account in each social network you are subscribed to. For instance, if your Facebook profile is only accessible to your friends on Facebook, then only they will be able to see your profile information when accessing your contact in CallApp. Moreover, CallApp does not store any login credentials on its servers; those are only stored locally on your device.

  • Can CallApp identify other callers even if they don’t have CallApp?

    Yes, CallApp will be able to identify other callers whether they have CallApp installed or not. However, if both parties have CallApp installed, it will be easier for them to interact using CallApp’s interaction utilities such as: share location, photo, contact, etc

  • Can CallApp identify Private, “Unavailable” or Blocked numbers?

    CallApp cannot identify the above mentioned numbers since the numbers are not provided by the phone operator and hence CallApp cannot display any details. Our recommendation is that you simply stop answering such calls. You have every right to know who is calling you.

  • Can I wipe my information from CallApp?

    You can unlist your number from CallApp services by by visiting our unlisting page and typing your phone number, then CallApp will not search the CallApp Universal Contact Book for your number. (Note, however, that your details may still be available in public and open directories).

  • Change the social media info linked to a contact?

    Changing the social media information that is linked to a contact can be done as follows:

    In the contact details screen, under ‘Social Feeds’ press on one of the social media network icons then search for the correct social media profile and match.
    Alternatively, in the contact details screen,  press the contact’s photo and hold for several seconds. This will take you to a window where you can confirm the information or dismiss it. Clicking on dismiss will take you to the social network search screen where you can search for the contact’s correct profile.

  • Clear the call log

    In order to clear the call log records:

    Go to the call log, then press the 3-dots menu that is right to the search line and choose “clear call log” or ”select calls”. Then you can select the records you want to delete and once you finish press the “delete” icon. 

    See instructions in the following GIF:

    * Please notice that deleting CallApp’s call log, will also delete your native call log

  • Correct wrong matching of information?

    Why does this happen? CallApp presents information to CallApp users from different social media networks and web sources, it is an automatic artificial intelligence solution for connecting each phone number in the world to up to 60 different information sources. Doing this is very ambitious and sometimes the system makes mistakes in auto-matching.

    How can this be solved?  The good news are that you as a user can assist us to make CallApp better, by correcting wrong matches. This can be done by long-pressing the wrong information (or tapping on the question mark) and telling the system that the information is wrong when the question appears. Moreover, the user can match the correct info by himself through the app. 

  • Dial by swiping on a contact from the contact list?

    In order to make a call directly from the contact list by swiping on the contact, go to the app’s Settings and mark the option ‘Contact list page swipe (disabled)’.

  • Do contacts can know that I am blocking them?

    CallApp believes that you have the right to block calls from others without disclosing this information with anyone. The only way they may know that you are blocking them is if you decide to inform them.

  • Do I have to use CallApp as the dialer to get Caller ID?

    While it is highly recommended to use CallApp as your default dialer, it is not required in order to identify and/or block callers.

  • Does CallApp affect the battery performance?

    CallApp might have a small impact on the battery life in the first day, but on the day to day use you shouldn’t really feel much – please let us know if that is not the case.

    Even unsaved numbers can be identified.

    Can contacts that aren’t saved be identified?

    Of course! Here at CallApp we have the largest phone number database in the world in order to identify just about any contact, even those that aren’t saved as a contact in your phone.

    How do I know that the Caller ID is accurate?

    We work around the clock to make sure that our phone number database is constantly updated and accurate, and that spam numbers are marked as so.

    Can Caller ID be spoofed?

    The short answer is – unfortunately, yes.
    But here at CallApp, we aim to ensure that our database is as accurate as possible, and are constantly updating it and performing checks for accuracy.

    What does no caller id mean?

    No Caller ID generally means that the caller has decided to make an incognito call, preventing you from identifying their number.
    It’s likely to be spam and we suggest not answering these calls.

  • Why can’t I move CallApp to the SD card?

    CallApp cannot be moved to the SD card on your mobile device, due to a limitation imposed by the Android OS. Android does not allow applications residing on the SD card to perform sync operations. Syncing contact information is a fundamental feature used by all successful communication management solutions including CallApp.

  • Why does CallApp require permissions?

    Like other Caller ID & Communication applications available on Google Play, CallApp is deeply integrated with the underlying operating system.
