Gabriel the Robocall Blocker

Gabriel is an application that uses real-time information from users to identify and block dangerous calls and SMS messages. Users can easily contribute by tapping a button to indicate if a call or message is safe or unsafe. This information helps to protect the entire community and users can earn reward points for participating in the network, which can be redeemed for gift cards.

One of the key features of Gabriel is its ability to analyze SMS messages in 23 different languages. While it is not possible to block all new numbers that may be used for spam calls, the app has already identified over two billion Caller IDs that are commonly used in spoofing scams and automatically blocks them from ringing your phone.

Privacy and data protection are important to Gabriel, which is why the app only loads your Contacts List on your device and not on their servers. This allows for the creation of a safe caller list, call log, and caller information to be displayed in the app's user interface. The app also offers a feature to send "Purple Alerts" to designated contacts when a suspicious message is received from an unknown sender.

Gabriel does not sell or share user information with anyone for any purpose. Optional registration is available for redeeming reward points, filing complaints, and registering your phone on Do Not Call lists. This information is only stored on your device and not on the app's servers, except for the display name.

The app also offers a Spoof Detection feature, which uses your Contacts List to send a pre-call notification to verify the caller's device and prevent spoofing. This feature adds an extra layer of protection against Caller ID spoofing.

Gabriel is a comprehensive solution for protecting your phone from unwanted calls and messages. It offers call blocking, zero-trust detection for links in SMS messages, and "Purple Alerts" for designated contacts. Users can also earn rewards for participating in the network and the app automatically registers your phone on Do Not Call lists and files complaints for you in 40 countries. Gabriel is compliant with GDPR and CPRA regulations, making it a trustworthy and reliable choice for protecting your phone.
