AiCalla

AiCalla is a privacy-first Android call protection and call management app built for South Africa. No Contacts permission. No Call Log permission. No call recording. AiCalla adds a Shield to the Phone app you already use. Eligible unknown incoming calls are checked locally and handled according to your rules and Shield settings. AiCalla can let a call ring, keep it quiet or block it. After the call, you can see why and choose what should happen next time. KEEP YOUR PHONE APP AiCalla works alongside your existing Phone app. You do not need to replace your normal dialler or make AiCalla your default Phone app. PRIVACY WITHOUT EXTRA PERMISSIONS The current release does not request Contacts or full Call Log access. AiCalla does not: • upload your contact list • upload your full device Call Log • record or transcribe calls • answer calls using AI • use call information to target advertising Limited pseudonymous screening, feedback, community and service information may sync after a call. This never decides whether the live call rings. BUILD YOUR SHIELD Answer four questions about unknown calls, interruptions, repeat callers and expected callbacks. AiCalla recommends a Shield profile and lets you review it before anything changes. Your trusted, silenced and blocked rules always take priority. RING, SILENCE OR BLOCK AiCalla can: • let trusted and potentially important calls ring • silence unknown or nuisance interruptions • block callers according to your rules and feedback • recognise qualifying repeat-call patterns • explain why each call was handled that way AiCalla does not assume every unknown caller is spam. A courier, clinic, school, recruiter or service provider may call from a number you have never seen. KEY FEATURES • Local screening of eligible unknown incoming calls • Caller Insight while your Phone app rings • Shield Calls history and Caller Profiles • Trusted, silenced and blocked rules • Spam and important caller feedback • Spam Shield summaries • Community reports • Asked-to-stop tracking • Local Evidence Summaries EXPECTING AN IMPORTANT UNKNOWN CALL? Start a Call Window when waiting for a delivery, clinic, school, recruiter or service callback. Choose 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or an end time. Ordinary unknown callers can temporarily ring while blocked and silenced rules remain protected. Your normal Shield returns automatically. LOCAL-FIRST PROTECTION Live decisions happen on your device and do not wait for the backend, billing, ads, analytics or cloud AI. If the network is unavailable, Shield continues using valid information stored locally. Eligible activity can be backed up later. Community reports may add context about nuisance, spam, direct-marketing, service and useful calls. They do not prove identity and never override your rules. TAKE ACTION AFTER UNWANTED CALLS Choose what happens next time, record that you asked a caller to stop, track later calls and prepare an Evidence Summary. You choose whether to copy or share it. Evidence Summaries are not legal advice. FREE SHIELD AND AICALLA PLUS Core Shield protection remains useful on Free. Limited consent-aware banners may appear on the Shield dashboard, Shield Calls and Rules. Ads never appear during calls, Caller Insight, notifications, Caller Profile, Call Window, Asked to stop, Evidence Summaries, privacy, permission or purchase flows. AiCalla Plus removes AiCalla ads. Monthly and Yearly subscriptions are available through Google Play. IMPORTANT AiCalla requires Android’s caller ID and call-screening role for active Shield protection. Caller Insight, notifications and lock-screen alerts are optional and may vary by device. AiCalla supports Android 10 and newer. AiCalla cannot guarantee every nuisance call will be identified or every important unknown caller recognised. Aikona to the noise. Yes to what matters.
