Whoscall, one of the leading call identification and spam-blocking apps, aims to provide a solution to telemarketing calls or scammers attempting to take advantage of you. Their app identifies unknown numbers, blocks spam calls, and scans suspicious URLs from messages with their range of AI features.
Powered by AI and data driven technology, Whoscall has the largest database in East Asia and Southeast Asia of over 2.6 billion entries to detect unknown callers, spam calls and texts, and potentially harmful URLs.
Whoscall’s app launched in the Philippines with an advocacy towards a Scam-Free Pilipinas. Present at the launch were a panel of cybersecurity experts, policymakers, and notable personalities with firsthand scam experiences including broadcast journalist Karen Davila, “Geeky Tech Dad” Gian Viterbo, and youth leader Aileen Montalbo.
Gian Viterbo, a top tech influencer in the country, shared “Maraming kababayan nating OFW ang nawalan ng ipon dahil naloko ng scammers. Huwag nating hayaang mangyari ito sa iba pa.” Aileen Montalbo, President of the Girls Scout Council in Batangas, Ayala Youth Leader, and influencer expressed “These scam texts and calls are not just inconveniences. They affect our lives and our everyday security. Let’s push for ways to make our nation stronger against scams.”
Gogolook, the force behind Whoscall, shared what inspired them to launch the app in the Philippines “As fraud became more apparent during and after the pandemic, we saw how Filipinos have suffered losses from scams, much like in other countries where we have launched Whoscall, such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan. This reality ignited our drive to create a comprehensive life protection platform accessible to every Filipino across the nation,” said Manwoo Joo, Chief Operating Officer of Gogolook
Whoscall is now available on Google Play Store and the Apple App store.
