The app requires iPhone 5s and higher, iOS 10 and higher (iOS 11 for SMS and MMS blocking).

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
- Do not remove the app from iPhone memory while it's updating blocking list - but you can do it after updating.
- Blocked calls may be forwarded to voicemail, as it works on mobile operator side (contact your mobile operator for details).
- If you use 'Do Not Disturb' mode, blocked calls may appear silently on Home screen and in Recently list - to avoid it disable DND mode.
- Sometimes iOS does not display WideProtect extensions in iPhone Settings immediately - in this case just add needed prefix to the app, then wait for 1-2 minutes, and then go to iPhone Settings.
Added iOS 15 support
Other UI and performance improvements
Please note: SMS and MMS blocking is still available here, but new application "WideProtect SMS Blocker" is released, so you should use it instead (for SMS blocking, of course).
In the nearest feature SMS blocking feature will be removed from this application.
There are few good things about "WideProtect SMS Blocker":
- it has no limits for amount of phone number patterns
- it allows to use more flexible rules (not just prefixes)
- it works for free for WideProtect customers
- it can import prefixes and keywords from WideProtect
