Question 1

How does Call Triage block spam calls and texts without connecting to the internet?

Accepted Answer

Call Triage uses Android's built-in Call Screening Service and SMS filtering. All blocking logic runs entirely on your device — your call history, contacts, and block list never leave your phone.

Question 2

Does the app need to be open to block calls?

Accepted Answer

No. Call Triage runs a background service that stays active even when the app is closed, blocking calls and texts 24/7.

Question 3

Will blocked callers know they have been blocked?

Accepted Answer

No. Blocked calls are silently dropped before your phone rings. Blocked texts are stopped before any notification appears.

Question 4

Is it really a one-time purchase — no subscription ever?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pro is $9.99 and Ultra is $24.99 — both are one-time purchases through Google Play. You pay once and own it forever, including all future app updates.

Question 5

What is the difference between Free, Pro, and Ultra?

Accepted Answer

Free includes basic blocking (up to 5 numbers and keywords), all 4 protection modes, and PIN lock. Pro ($9.99) adds unlimited blocks, area code blocking, schedule blocking, app disguise, full text history, and stats. Ultra ($24.99) adds Duress PIN, read and reply to blocked texts, Audio CAPTCHA, and blocked call SIT tone.

Question 6

Is my call and text data sent to any server?

Accepted Answer

Never. Call Triage is 100% on-device. There are no servers, no analytics pipelines, and no cloud sync of any kind.

Question 7

What is the Duress PIN?

Accepted Answer

Duress PIN is an alternate PIN you set for high-pressure situations. Entering it opens the app but shows a completely empty history and block list, with no indication that anything is hidden.

Question 8

What is App Disguise?

Accepted Answer

App Disguise changes both the icon and the name on your home screen to look like a Calculator or Notes app. No one looking at your phone will know Call Triage is installed.

Question 9

What is Ghost Call Escape?

Accepted Answer

Ghost Call Escape lets you schedule a fake incoming call on a delay, giving you a convincing excuse to leave any situation.

Question 10

What is Audio CAPTCHA?

Accepted Answer

Audio CAPTCHA intercepts potential robocalls before your phone rings. An automated voice prompt asks callers to press a key to confirm they are human. Robodialers cannot respond and are blocked automatically.
