Building spam call solution stack
If you are looking for better spam call blocker app similar to truecaller then what are the few things which as a user you guys will expect as a user ? Truecaller now only about ads now a days, finally decided to build android app. Regarding data and other stuff will figure out something.
Please have the option to have an icon closer to the default iOS app. The TC logo is embarrassing to have on the Home Screen
Ohh that's something new,
You want to have option to change app launcher (logo on lock screen) icon ?
The app icon on the Home Screen at least. Would look great in the bottom app tray.
Also, how do you intend to cold start the network? My guess is that this kinda business has network effects and may not work at a smaller scale?

Privacy. I dont want the app to be like truecaller going through all my sms contents which has confidential info
minimalist. Truecaller is cramped with a lot of features which i never used. I want the app to be capable of only doing the basic things.
It aint gonna work for iphones at any cost because of the way iphone works.
Apple wont let u access its blackbox to block calls like androids
It can cancel the spam call on its own and saves my time... Truecaller still wastes time as we have to see and reject
Yeah, I think this should be present in app and one more to sustain the app how much should I charge from user or should keep it free and figure something else for monetization?

I had issues with blocking spam calls. Sadly, some of the legit customer care numbers are marked as spam. In my case, I filed a complaint with Airtel Internet. It was not resolved for a long time and turns out, they were trying to reach me through a spam number that blocked.

Keen to know how you have built it.
For me dont even show that there was spam call altogether delete it from call history
I also thought to have something similar, will explore on this front too.
"block spam call & delete from recents logs" this will keep paid one😅
Logo. I sometimes find it hard to choose between phone(android) and truecaller given they have identical logos
Any such app would need contact permission.
To make a database for spam filtering, reporting.

Something like what truecaller tried to do hut make it more refined: Auto pick unknown numbers, and let the AI evaluate if its a spam call or not and then transfer/reject the call to me based on the evaluation, if its refined enough people would be willing to pay for a subscription.
Initially you can keep it for free for a week or month, and then charge afterwards. If people pay for your app then, you know that you’ve got a PMF along with monetisation. If not, then you will need to figure out solutions accordingly.
