Hello to all. Lately I've been receiving a lot of spam calls under private number. Is there a way to block them? Any app?

You're right, I hadn't noticed that.

Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It'd be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.

Looks like there are just more translations in the gitlab history, but no new releases since 2021.

Ugh, you're right! I didn't realize. I'm going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than "Yet Another Call Blocker" anyway.

I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean the app is dead, maybe it's just still working as intended?
