Hi there, Robokillers: drumroll please....we've got a new feature that supports our mission to help you live life spam-call-free®.
Our latest update lets you opt to use Robokiller's new personal data protection tool. Personal data protection puts you in the driver's seat to show you where your private info is for sale on public data broker sites — and helps you remove it, so you can reclaim your privacy. This helps to protect you from risky scam calls, spam texts, identity theft, and more.
That's it until next time — don't forget to give Robokiller a review on the app store, your feedback helps us keep working towards a world without spam.

***************************
ROBOKILLER 5 AND BEYOND
RoboKiller 5.0 and beyond has arrived. We’ve completely rebuilt RoboKiller from the ground up with more spam blocking goodness than ever before, plus loads of extras.
**OPEN THE APP AFTER UPGRADING**
This update requires you to enable new settings to take advantage of our major spam blocking improvements.
Now back to what’s in this update. First and foremost, RoboKiller now eliminates 99% of spam calls (yep)! We’ve also added a new Call Screener and dark mode. Oh, and we redesigned the app for a clean, modern look. Hope you like these updates as much as we do!
What’s new (a lot!):
• Call Screening (optional)! An extra layer of protection that’s like having a personal assistant. Call Screening identifies and blocks the most sophisticated spammers while letting unknown numbers such as a doctor’s office, ride-sharing, delivery drivers, or other important callers get in contact with you. The RoboKiller Call Screener asks callers for their name and why they are calling. Then we send you their transcribed responses so you can decide whether to answer.
• Complete redesign, including dark mode.
• Introducing Radar, a new hub to empower users with data about their experience and the state of spam in their local area
• Lookups! With the addition of Radar we’ve also added the ability to lookup information about phone numbers
• Text transcriptions for voicemails.
• Users now get more control with enhanced notifications on long presses
• SMS spam blocking just got a lot smarter! Turn on by going to Settings > SMS Protection
• You can now segment between Missed/Blocked/Voicemails on Recents.
• Pause RoboKiller right from the Recents screen.
• RoboLookup Enhanced Caller ID: see as much information possible about unknown callers before you answer.
• RoboLookup Call Verification: see user feedback for unknown callers before you answer
• Safe Call notifications: Missed Call Notifications are now Safe Call Notifications so that you know that a caller has been verified as safe and may be worth calling back.
Customize your app icon: choose your RoboKiller.
• We love call feedback! --> We’ve updated our feedback experience and added a new “Thank you” screen when users provide feedback.
• New privacy features: Users can now turn off “Offers & Promos” in notification settings, as well as find other updates in privacy settings.
• We’ve added a new call quality rating system.
• See spam calls in the Phone app. This update adds optional Spam Labels to your Phone app’s Recents list.
What’s changed:
• Answers Bots and your Block/Allow lists are now accessible in Settings.
• An updated call feedback experience.
• We’re no longer constrained to blocking a list of known spammers. Instead, we’ll investigate all unknown callers.
Fixed stuff:
• Reduces background activity to eliminate battery drain caused by RoboKiller.
• Made a few changes to improve call quality, including fixing a bug that caused some calls to drop when switching between WiFi and LTE.
• No more random spoofed calls getting through.
• You’ll never see a “RoboKiller has been disabled” notification again.
• Disappearing and spinning Call Blocking & Identification extensions are a thing of the past.
• Fixed a bug that caused some calls to drop at 5-minute intervals.
• Fixes a bug that prevented calls from automatically using AirPods or other Bluetooth devices when answering calls.
The extras:
• Check out our Support Help Center articles to learn more about all the awesome new stuff.
• All calls that are deemed safe get returned to users as VoIP calls.
• RoboKiller 5.0 needs Microphone permission now, so when we return a safe call to you, callers can hear what you say.

***************************
ROBOKILLER 5 AND BEYOND
RoboKiller 5.0 and beyond has arrived. We’ve completely rebuilt RoboKiller from the ground up with more spam blocking goodness than ever before, plus loads of extras.
**OPEN THE APP AFTER UPGRADING**
This update requires you to enable new settings to take advantage of our major spam blocking improvements.
Now back to what’s in this update. First and foremost, RoboKiller now eliminates 99% of spam calls (yep)! We’ve also added a new Call Screener and dark mode. Oh, and we redesigned the app for a clean, modern look. Hope you like these updates as much as we do!
What’s new (a lot!):
• Call Screening (optional)! An extra layer of protection that’s like having a personal assistant. Call Screening identifies and blocks the most sophisticated spammers while letting unknown numbers such as a doctor’s office, ride-sharing, delivery drivers, or other important callers get in contact with you. The RoboKiller Call Screener asks callers for their name and why they are calling. Then we send you their transcribed responses so you can decide whether to answer.
• Complete redesign, including dark mode.
• Introducing Radar, a new hub to empower users with data about their experience and the state of spam in their local area
• Lookups! With the addition of Radar we’ve also added the ability to lookup information about phone numbers
• Text transcriptions for voicemails.
• Users now get more control with enhanced notifications on long presses
• SMS spam blocking just got a lot smarter! Turn on by going to Settings > SMS Protection
• You can now segment between Missed/Blocked/Voicemails on Recents.
• Pause RoboKiller right from the Recents screen.
• RoboLookup Enhanced Caller ID: see as much information possible about unknown callers before you answer.
• RoboLookup Call Verification: see user feedback for unknown callers before you answer
• Safe Call notifications: Missed Call Notifications are now Safe Call Notifications so that you know that a caller has been verified as safe and may be worth calling back.
Customize your app icon: choose your RoboKiller.
• We love call feedback! --> We’ve updated our feedback experience and added a new “Thank you” screen when users provide feedback.
• New privacy features: Users can now turn off “Offers & Promos” in notification settings, as well as find other updates in privacy settings.
• We’ve added a new call quality rating system.
• See spam calls in the Phone app. This update adds optional Spam Labels to your Phone app’s Recents list.

2018-08-31
Fellow RoboKillers, we've got an important update today to neighbor spoof blocking (aka numbers that look similar to yours). To ensure you're best protected from these annoying types of spam calls, we definitely recommend installing this update as soon as possible.
One final but important note — with RoboKiller's improved neighbor spoof blocking, users now need to turn on TWO switches under "Call Blocking & Identification" on their iPhone. In order to better protect you, this 2nd switch needs to be enabled, due to iOS limitations. Please open the app and follow the simple instructions to turn on this new feature.
To enable our new and improved call blocking:
1. Open the Settings app
2. Scroll down and tap "Phone"
3. Then tap "Call Blocking & Identification"
4. Then enable the new "RoboKiller — Neighbor Spoofing" extension.
(If you'd like to turn off neighbor spoof blocking, you can do so within the RoboKiller app. Just go to Settings > Blocking Settings)
If you run into any issues, don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@robokiller.com.

2018-08-17
We’ve been hard at work this summer and have a BIG announcement for today’s update:
RoboKiller now blocks 10x more neighbor spoof scams! We’ve pulled out all the stops to keep you protected against spammers, scammers and robocallers. This means that RoboKiller is now blocking over 1.1 million numbers.
Plus, when RoboKiller blocks these neighbor spoof scams, it will now send them to a call screening Answer Bot so you can decide whether to allow or keep blocking these numbers.
Don’t want to be so aggressive with your call blocking? If you disable neighbor spoof blocking within RoboKiller, we’ll still warn you about these potential robocalls when they happen.
To enable our new and improved call blocking:
1. Open the Settings app
2. Scroll down and tap "Phone"
3. Then tap "Call Blocking & Identification"
4. Then enable the new "RoboKiller — Neighbor Spoofing" extension.
