<b>How to use:</b>
2019-10-15 15:04:43 +02:00
* Install and launch the app.
2020-05-10 22:12:29 +02:00
* The option to show caller info notifications is enabled by default, so the app will ask for phone-related permissions.
* At first start, the app will suggest to download main database which is required for most of the functions. Simply confirm the download.
* Check the "Auto-update database" checkbox in the menu (recommended) to automatically receive daily DB updates (these are incremental/delta updates, so they consume very little traffic).
2020-08-07 13:29:42 +02:00
* Check the "Block by rating" checkbox to block calls with negative rating automatically.
2020-05-08 14:22:39 +02:00
* You can also check the "Use contacts" checkbox if you want your contacts not to be treated as unknown callers.
2020-08-07 13:29:42 +02:00
* After these steps everything should just work (but you can always find more options in Settings). Enjoy!

The main phone number database is downloaded from <a href="https://gitlab.com/xynngh/YetAnotherCallBlocker_data">a gitlab repository</a>.
<b>Database updates and detailed review queries are performed using 3rd-party servers.</b>
2019-10-15 15:04:43 +02:00
No user-identifiable information is sent (except for the phone number
the detailed reviews are loaded for).
