I do the same. Almost no one has my landline phone number, so whenever I get a call I paste the number in Google. 9/10 times other people have already reported it as spam. I then proceed to blacklist it which can be done from the phone itself and takes about 5 keystrokes.
- uxp 10y agoOne app I've always wanted to write is one that intercepts incoming phone numbers that are not on your contact list and do a quick lookup on those reputation service sites and display it side-by-side with the number. Similar to how iOS has recently added the "Might Be John Doe" based on numbers it has learned about through iMessage or Mail. Maybe iOS 10 has added enough functionality on the call screen APIs to allow it (I haven't honestly checked), but up until now there hasn't been a way to tie into calls like that without actually writing an entire VoIP backend so you could control the complete call flow.
- criley2 10y agoTruecaller and Contacts+ do something similar, TrueCaller is very similar to what you describe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truecaller...
