Block Guard: Spam Call Blocker
How does Block Guard block spam calls without me having to do anything?
Once you set it up, Block Guard runs silently in the background. When a spam call comes in, your screen briefly flashes 'Blocked' and then the call is stopped, so you never hear it ring.
Can I block specific numbers or area codes with Block Guard?
Yes, you can manually add numbers to block, and you can even block an entire area code pattern. This is handy for stopping persistent callers who keep changing their phone number.
What should I do if Block Guard isn't blocking all the spam calls I'm getting?
First, check that you've allowed the app access to your calls and that it's enabled in your iPhone's settings under 'Call Blocking & Identification.' If it's set up correctly, try adding the unwanted numbers to your personal block list for extra coverage.
Will Block Guard ever block a call from someone I actually want to hear from?
Block Guard is designed to only block numbers identified as spam or numbers you specifically add. It also has a 'silence unknown callers' mode that lets calls from your favorites ring through, so important contacts won't be missed.
How does Block Guard compare to a free spam call blocker like Truecaller?
Block Guard costs a one-time $4.99 with no ads or subscriptions, while Truecaller's best features often require a paid subscription. Block Guard is also simpler—it just blocks calls quietly in the background—whereas Truecaller has a more complex interface with caller ID and messaging features.
