Hello to all. Lately I've been receiving a lot of spam calls under private number. Is there a way to block them? Any app?

Looks like it hasn't been updated in 3 years. Is it still maintained?

The app has not been updated in long time, but the database is still updating daily for me, and the app still works on Android 14. Can't tell it will continue working in the future...

You're right, I hadn't noticed that.

Looks like the F-droid version is way behind, because you can see on their GitLab page that the project is still maintained. It'd be best to get the app directly through GitLab I suppose, or add an F-droid repo that has a more up-to-date version.

Looks like there are just more translations in the gitlab history, but no new releases since 2021.

Ugh, you're right! I didn't realize. I'm going to give SpamBlocker a try instead. I just downloaded and flipped through the options and it looks better than "Yet Another Call Blocker" anyway.

I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean the app is dead, maybe it's just still working as intended?
