Porchlight: Spam Call Alerts
Effective October 23, 2026
Porchlight: Spam Call Alerts is a free app that labels and, if you choose, blocks phone numbers that the public reported as unwanted or scam calls. It has no ads and no in-app purchases.
Licence
Your use of the app is governed by Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (Standard EULA).
Reports, not verdicts
Labels are based on complaints submitted to the FTC by the public, which are not verified. A real person's or business's number can appear because scammers fake caller ID. Porchlight can't detect numbers nobody has reported. Use your own judgment; you can mark any number safe.
Blocking
Blocking happens only for numbers you block and, if you turn it on, numbers with many recent scam reports. You are responsible for the blocking settings you choose. Emergency services are never on Porchlight's lists.
Not affiliated
Porchlight is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FTC, the FCC or any carrier.
No warranty
The app is provided “as is”, to the extent permitted by law.
