Let us answer the numbers you don’t know
Unknown caller? Who’s Calling answers first, asks who they are and why they’re calling, then sends their response to your phone as text. You find out what they want without ever being put on the spot.
- Your saved contacts ring through normally
- Unknown callers are asked their name and reason for calling
- Read the caller’s response as a transcript on your phone
- Call back, ignore or block after you know what they wanted
You can decide whether to call back after reading the message.
Four simple steps between the caller and you
Who’s Calling puts a screening step in front of unknown callers, while people you already know continue to ring you normally.
An unknown number calls
Someone who isn’t in your contacts rings your phone.
Who’s Calling answers
The caller is told they’ve reached a call-screening service and is asked who they are and why they’re calling.
You read their response
What the caller said during screening is transcribed and delivered to your phone.
You decide what happens next
Call back if it makes sense, ignore it, or block the number if you don’t want it again.
Know what they want before you decide
A genuine message is useful. A suspicious message can reveal the warning signs before anyone has a chance to pressure you.
The message gives you context
A surgery, garage, school or delivery company can simply explain why they called. You can read it in your own time and call back if you need to.
- See the caller’s number and time
- Read what they said during screening
- See verified business information when available
You can decide whether to call back after reading the message.
The warning signs are easier to spot in writing
Pressure, urgency and unusual payment instructions are easier to assess when you can read the caller’s own words instead of responding in the moment.
Never move money because an unexpected caller tells you to.
Screened calls stay understandable afterwards
Instead of a list of mystery numbers, your screening history helps you remember who called and what they wanted.
See the useful part at a glance
Each screened call can show the caller, the time and a short preview of the screening response. Open it when you want the full detail.
- Useful transcript previews
- Verified business identity when available
- Clear separation between contacts and screened callers
Your normal conversations stay private
Call Screening is for unknown callers. It does not turn your ordinary phone calls into transcripts.
What stays on your phone
- Your contacts stay on your handset
- Saved contacts continue to ring through normally
- Your normal conversations are not sent to Guardians
What happens to screening audio
- Only the unknown caller’s screening response is processed
- The response is turned into text for your phone
- Caller audio is held temporarily while it is securely delivered
- Once your phone confirms receipt, the server copy is deleted
Guardian is the next level of protection
Call Screening protects you from being put on the spot. Guardian adds someone you trust, so they can see screened-call alerts and the caller’s screening response too.
Someone you trust can check in when a call looks wrong
With Guardian, the person you choose can receive the caller’s number, the time of the screened call and a transcription of what the caller said. They can then ring you straight away.
- Up to 5 trusted Guardians
- Guardian sees the screened caller’s response — not your normal calls
- Being someone else’s Guardian is free
- Nothing is shared until the protected person consents
Frequently asked questions
Will people in my contacts be screened?
No. Your saved contacts ring through normally. Call Screening is designed for numbers you don’t know.
What does the caller hear?
They are told they have reached a call-screening service and are asked their name and why they are calling.
What do I receive after the call is screened?

Do you upload my address book?
