Hiya, formerly Current Caller ID, is a free app for Android phones and tablets that lets you identify and block unwanted and annoying callers.

Tired of blocked numbers calling your phone? Tired of marketers, scammers, debt collectors, and others that just never let up no matter how many times you add yourself to the Do Not Call registry? It’s time to give Current Caller ID a shot!

This app is completely free with no ads, and it’s easy to use! It integrates with your phone so every time you get a call the app’s able to check the number against a huge database of millions of phone numbers and warn you if you’re about to talk to a spammer, a scammer, a robocaller, or even debt collectors.

The beauty of the app is that it’s maintained by the community; every time a user gets an unwanted call they can report it, tag the type of call, and report it right from within the app so other users know to avoid it.

If you want an easy way to identify and block unwanted callers on Android phones, Current Caller ID is a great choice.

Pros

  • Identify Spammers and Scammers Fast Know who they are as soon as the phone starts ringing.
  • Protect Your Privacy for Free with No Ads Current Caller ID is a 100% free application, doesn’t have any ads, and doesn’t charge for new updates like some apps out there.
  • Maintained by the Community This app is maintained by the community and users just like you that get, report, and block unwanted callers.

Cons

  • Doesn’t Always Work Some private numbers won’t be identified

Hiya! This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: Allows an app to access precise location. Alternatively, you might want ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION.
  • CALL_PHONE: Allows an application to initiate a phone call without going through the Dialer user interface for the user to confirm the call.
  • PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS: Allows an application to see the number being dialed during an outgoing call with the option to redirect the call to a different number or abort the call altogether.
  • READ_CALL_LOG: Allows an application to read the user's call log.
  • READ_CONTACTS: Allows an application to read the user's contacts data.
  • READ_PHONE_STATE: Allows read only access to phone state, including the phone number of the device, current cellular network information, the status of any ongoing calls, and a list of any PhoneAccounts registered on the device.
  • READ_SMS: Allows an application to read SMS messages.
  • RECEIVE_SMS: Allows an application to receive SMS messages.
  • SEND_SMS: Allows an application to send SMS messages.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to change Wi-Fi connectivity state.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
  • SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
  • android.permission.ANSWER_PHONE_CALLS
  • android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
  • com.android.vending.BILLING
  • com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE
  • com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE
  • com.hiya.hiyaconfig.permission
