Phone harassment. It is not just illegal and annoying, it could be a real threat to your safety both physically and emotionally.

While at CallApp we pride ourselves on providing our users with an upgraded experience when it comes to your phone experience, we are so much more than just a tool to improve your lifestyle. CallApp is also an essential tool that ensures the safety of our users in many areas, specifically when it comes to sexual harassment.

This was proved beyond doubt when CallApp was asked to speak in Nigeria honoring the application’s role in helping women fight against sexual harassment and rape.

So how exactly is CallApp revolutionizing the fight against sexual harassment?

Block That Number

There are a number of ways CallApp protects its users. Firstly, CallApp is the ultimate tool for blocking phone calls, not only from spammers or numbers you recognize but also from private and hidden numbers.

A report that came out by a fellow phone app indicating that in India, one out of three women receives sexual and offensive calls or SMS, some on a weekly basis! Step one on stopping this trend which is found worldwide is the ability to block numbers as soon as you experience any form of discomfort.

Know Who Is Really on the Other Side

Another brilliant feature that is a key to CallApp’s ability to protect its users against sexual harassment or abuse is the ability to identify any number that comes your way. Not only via phone calls, but Caller ID for all your messaging apps like WhatsApp, Viber, and of course SMS.

One of the most used tactics by predators these days is catfishing, a term for scammers who pretend to be someone else in order to lure in their victim. This can happen on messaging apps or dating apps such as Tinder. It is a trend that has been around for ages but due to the increased use of online dating, these scam artists have become far more prevalent and these stories often lead to dark endings.

CallApp allows you to check the real identity behind the number so none of our users could fall victim. Whether it’s on a messaging app, or on tinder, we encourage you to run that number through our system and make sure whoever you are talking to is not a threat. This is a brilliant proactive step our users can take to prevent any form of danger.

Record That Call

The last feature CallApp offers in the aid of fighting against harassment, is our call recording feature. It is one thing being able to identify and block a potential predator, but with this feature, CallApp allows its users to easily attain evidence of over-the-phone harassment if they chose to take measures against their harasser, something we highly encourage.

With CallApp’s impressive range of features, we aim to be your partner in fighting against harassment in all forms, at all times.
