Is CallerGenie free to use?
Yes. Core features — including AI caller ID and basic call blocking — are completely free. Premium unlocks unlimited rules, advanced time filters, and priority support.
How does CallerGenie protect my privacy?
Your call history is always stored locally on your device. We sync only minimal contact data to improve AI identification accuracy, with full encryption in transit. Call logs never leave your phone.
What blocking features are included in the free tier?
Free includes preset rules for telemarketer blocking, international call blocking, and work-hours blocking, plus an emergency allow list for trusted contacts and a blocking stats dashboard.
Why does the app need to run in the background?
To block calls in real time, CallerGenie must be active when a call arrives. Some phone manufacturers use aggressive battery management that can interrupt this — visit our troubleshooting page for help.
Is CallerGenie available on both Android and iOS?
Yes — CallerGenie is available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, free to download on either platform.
