What's New

The following changes have been made to the Scam Shield app:

UPDATED FEATURES:

-Simple call reporting-
Report calls as scams (or misidentified scam calls as safe) right from the Activity tab. Simply tap the number you want to report and tap the “Report” button.

-New call categories-
We’ve added the “Private” category to the Category Manager so you can send all calls from private numbers straight to voicemail.

-Simplified call lists-
We’ve made it simpler than ever to determine who’s blocked and who’s not! The lists for numbers that are always blocked and always allowed to call you are now called “Block” and “Allow.”

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Multiple improvements were made to the app’s UI.
- Several updates were made to enhance app accessibility.
- Updates and improvements were made to the first-time use experience.

FIXES:

- People using dual-sim devices where the eSIM is the primary line and the secondary line is not T-Mobile will now be able to authenticate as expected.
- Adding a number to a list will now properly remove it from any other competing list.
