Version 6.0 is here!
Fully re-written application, optimized for the latest iOS versions, includes:
- additional 10 system extensions, and the app now allows you to block up to 100 million phone numbers!
- ability not only block incoming calls, but also identify them as spammers, without actual blocking.
- faster algorythms to spend less time during blocklist updating, and be more safer in case of cases when something goes wrong.
Be aware, that this version supports only iOS 15 and higher, so if you still on iOS 14 or lower version, please use previous version of the app.
And, the last note for this release - we have had to introduce subscription model for our app... Not easy decision, honestly, but we need it now, to support the app in a good quality state, to implement new features, and support you in case of any issues.
All users, who has bought the app before this release, will get free 3-12 months of usage, depending on when they bought the app and what in-ap purchase they have bought during the time. You will see details on "Purchase" tab in the app.

Added 10 extra extensions, so now the app can block up to 80 millions numbers!
And, as always, I am asking you to use this only if you really need it - the more phone numbers you block, the more time it takes (to update system block list).
Thank you all for using WideProtect, for your support and suggestions to improve the app!
If you like WideProtect, rate it please in App Store, I will be grateful to you!
