SkipCalls includes built-in spam protection to help you avoid unwanted robocalls and telemarketers. This feature works directly with your phone's native call screening.

If you need to adjust system-level call screening settings, tap Open Phone Settings at the bottom of the Spam Protection screen. This takes you directly to your phone's call settings.
