• After the latest Callfilter.app update, some users may have noticed that Always allow contacts or Block all except contacts was turned off. This was a developer mistake. We’re sorry for the trouble — we did not intend to disrupt anyone’s settings.

    If this happened to you, please re-enable the options in Filter priority.
    Note: Ignore contacts is now called Always allow contacts.

App doesn't block spam, because it sees 2 first digits as area code.

Hi, I have a problem with the above. In Poland sometimes phone numbers are displayed without the country code and then, even if the number is present in the blacklist (either online or my personal) the app identifies it as a safe one but with a different country code. Only 10 minutes ago there was a call from a number starting with 66 (the phone this time didn't show my country code +48). As a result, the app didn't identify it as spam, but... as a safe call from a country starting with 66 (i think Cambodia). Because such a Cambodian number didn't exist in the list. But in fact it does exist as spam, but on the list it's with my country code

Hi @Cypriot ,

Please check which country you have selected in your Android settings (Settings -> System -> System Languages)

If you see a number not in international format on incoming call, our app will convert it to international format based primarily on the selected region.

Only the country name in brackets in the main language matters. For me it looks like this:
