| Permissions | The project describes all listed Android permissions as optional and explains they support features such as call control, contact matching, SMS screening, and calendar-based rules. | Android users may need phone, call-log, contacts, default-call-app, and SMS permissions for full caller identification and blocking. |
| Privacy | The README says offline features collect no data; for online features the API server sees the IP address, TLS/TCP fingerprints, and reported number. | Whoscall says call-related information is de-identified and that it does not share or use unencrypted data. |
It suits Android users seeking call and SMS filtering without replacing their default apps. Android 10 or newer is required by the listed F-Droid version.
Whoscall suits Android and iOS users who want caller identification, spam blocking, and checks for potentially risky numbers or links. Businesses can apply to display a verified company name and logo on caller ID.
