1. A new feature - Cloud Wildcards has been added. This feature allows you to use complex sets of rules (wildcards) in CallFilter.app to improve the quality of call blocking. Anyone can create such lists, and any CallFilter.app user can connect such a list to himself.

A reasonable question is why is it necessary?

This is a tool with great possibilities, there are many ways to use it. The most obvious way to use it right now is to block calls from outside your region. There are already cloud wildcard lists to block all calls from other countries or other regions and cities or states. In the coming weeks we will create and publish such lists for many countries.
Just enter the name of the list you want to use in the app and the quality of blocking will increase significantly, calls from foreign regions will be cut off automatically.

Want to receive only local calls? You got it!
Calls only from certain cities or states? No problem!
Need to block some phone codes? Consider it done!
Numbers starting with specific digits? Easy peasy!

Such lists can be created, modified and discussed collectively on our forum.

Instructions for working with Cloud Wildcards



2. Added notification for users that CallFilter.app does not see some incoming calls.
In modern versions of Android, spam filtering apps do not see incoming calls from numbers in Contacts if they do not have access to Contacts.
CallFilter.app can work without access to Contacts, but it does not see such calls. Because of this, many users thought that the app did not work well.
Now CallFilter.app will remind users who have not granted access to Contacts that the app does not see all calls.
It is still possible for CallFilter.app to work without access to Contacts.

3. The spam filter module of the app has been seriously optimized, now CallFilter.app works more stable on old and/or slow phones.

Hello Charles!

No, you can only use one list at a time, this is due to the performance limitations of the phones.

But! This is not a problem as anyone can create their own list and use it. If you want to combine 2 wildcard lists, just create one that contains them. Or 3... as many as you like.

Have a nice day!

Can you provide more information about how to activate wildcards? I already have a US only, and US Spam calls listed in wildcards and can't add anything else. Do I need to find a list somewhere for PA only calls? Even then spammers will spoof local numbers to try to trick you. Additionally, do I add blacklisted area codes by adding +1410* for example to block everything from that area code? I was able to add one with no problem but not any additional area codes. Can you provide me with a link for instructions to all of this I can't find any lists or detailed info about how to do these things anywhere.

I have 'block everything except contacts' enabled for now, but I need to still receive calls from different agencies and doctors, etc. that sometimes use different local or even non-local or 800 numbers. Please advise- so far I like the app but I'm confused!

Bom dia, Oliver os meus contatos estão bloqueados, e fui obrigado a desativar o app para receber ligações, por favor me ajuda

Olá Ronaldo,
Basta ativar a opção “Ignorar contatos” nas configurações do aplicativo.
Se isso não resolver o problema, por favor, conte-nos um pouco mais sobre a situação para que possamos ajudar.

Hi,
Callfilter.app allows you to solve this in a few different ways:
  1. You can simply add prefixes like +1410* to your Blacklist to block any number of area codes.
  2. If you prefer, you can send me a list of area codes, and I’ll create a Cloud List for you — you’ll just need to install it in the app.
You mentioned that you can’t add anything else — could you please clarify what exactly happens?
Do you see an error message or does the button stop responding?
