Basically,iBlacklistisasoftwaredevelopedexclusivelyto operateon iPhones running any firmware, and it’smainjob is to search on lists for number to be blocked (whenusing blacklist concept), or search for numbers to beaccepted (when using whitelist concept). Based on thoselists, the softwarewill check it’s setupand let calls/smsgothroughorbeblocked.
It has independent settings for calls and messages,wichletyousetitupasyourneedsforbothtypesofevents.
It also has some special features like Privacy, whereyoucansetittoremovethepopupsthatareplacedonlockscreen when a message arrives or an sms reaches yourdevice. It has the Parental Control feature, where also thecalls originated from the device will be blocked based onactivelists.
It’s important to cite that,whenyou install it on yourdevice, it’s an unregistered version, wich has somelimitations compared to a registered version (fullyoperational). These limitationswill be explained in furthersectionsofthismanual.
