Robokiller: Spam Call Blocker

Stop 99% of Robocalls & Texts

View

Thwart the phone calls from scammers, phishers, and spoofers with Robokiller.

What we love: The app does more than adeptly block spammers. Enable call forwarding on your iPhone to send an unwanted caller to Robokiller’s hilarious Answer Bots. Pick a persona—like Southern belle or jilted lover—and the bots will keep the scammer talking to no one.

Robokiller can request that your phone number be removed from data broker call lists.

Quick tip: Robokiller works for text messages too. In the app’s settings, you can have it block messages that contain certain words or phrases.

Meet the creator: In 2023 the Federal Trade Commission awarded Robokiller first place in its Robocalls: Humanity Strikes Back competition. “We’ve seen team members and their loved ones targeted and victimized by scammers, and that’s precisely why we take such pride in eliminating fraud,” says chief product officer Mark Lavoritano.
