5 best Automatic Call Blocker Apps on Android

If you don’t want to be bothered by automated calls (Robocalls) and spam messages, Digital Era will guide you on how to prevent them.

Robocall (automatic call) and spam are on the increase, currently, there are very few applications and tools to prevent this. According to a Statista report, US users lost $19.7 billion to scam calls in 2020.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has just granted a license to wireless carriers to block Robocall. This will help users limit being bothered by automated, pre-recorded calls for marketing purposes. This is considered an obsession of millions of users in developed countries like the US.

There is no way to 100% stop automated calls because the companies behind are always changing tactics. However, you can minimize these distractions with the following tips. 

1. CallApp (free, 1.99 USD/month or 10.99 USD/year) 

When someone calls, the application will automatically check and display an alert, automatically blocking if it detects that it is a harassing phone number. CallApp also supports users to record automatically (on some Android versions). 

Besides, users can also use the application to look up information about strange phone numbers, this function is similar to TrueCaller software. Overall, CallApp works quite well, the monthly subscription cost is also acceptable.

2. Call Blocker by Fiorenza Francesco (free or $1.99/month)

Call Blocker is one of the best free automatic call blocking apps on Android today. According to information from the developer, the application can actively prevent most marketing calls, scams, etc.
