What Realcaller does today
Realcaller is an Android caller ID and spam warning app. Five main features, each explained on its own page, and an honest list of what it does not do yet.
What are the main features?
Each one works on its own and follows the same rule: say what it found, and why.
Caller ID cards
A notification card for each screened call: known spam, suspicious, low risk, not checked, or hidden. Saved contacts pass silently.
Spam call blocking
Off by default. Choose to block known spam, or known spam plus suspicious. Blocked calls never ring, and you still get a card.
Reporting spam
Two deliberate steps: pick a category, then confirm. One report per number per phone per day keeps the data clean.
Offline protection
A daily list of up to 10,000 numbers for your region lives on your phone, so many checks need no internet.
Why a number is flagged
Every card gives its reason, like “Flagged by FTC”. See every reason line, the score bands and the data sources.
What else is in the app?
Smaller things that make the five main features easier to use.
- Number search
- Type or paste any number to see its verdict, risk percentage, label and reasons. Recent searches stay on your phone.
- Call history
- Up to 500 screened calls on your phone, with the verdict and where each answer came from.
- Allowed and blocked lists
- Your own lists, kept on the phone and never uploaded.
- Protection tab and widget
- Counts of calls screened, spam caught and calls blocked this week, and a small home-screen widget. Counts only, no numbers.
- Weekly summary
- One notification a week with your counts. Skipped when there were no calls.
- English and Spanish, light and dark
- The whole app, including the reasons, in English or Mexican Spanish, in a light or dark theme.
