Most spam blockers sell your call data to pay for "free" protection. VetoSpam is different — every block, every screen, every AI response happens entirely on your device. Zero data collected. Ever.
VetoSpam doesn't just block calls — it screens voicemails, filters spam texts, detects robocalls, and fights back against scammers. All powered by on-device AI that never sends your data anywhere.
VetoSpam integrates directly with iOS Call Blocking & Identification. Known spam numbers are silenced at the system level before your phone ever rings — no app needs to be open. Add your own numbers or let the continuously updated spam database handle it automatically.
When an unknown caller leaves a voicemail, share it with VetoSpam. On-device speech recognition transcribes the message and AI classifies it as spam, likely spam, or legitimate — instantly, without any audio leaving your phone.
VetoSpam analyzes the timing signature of voicemail transcriptions to detect pre-recorded messages. A human pauses and hesitates — a robocall dumps a script at machine speed. This behavioral fingerprint catches robocalls that keyword analysis alone would miss.
Spam texts from unknown senders are automatically routed to your Junk folder before you ever see them. When you spot a spam text that slipped through, report it to your carrier via 7726 and VetoSpam automatically adds the sender to your blocklist.
No account. No email. No call logs uploaded. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Your blocklist, voicemail transcripts, and call history live in an encrypted database on your device and are never transmitted anywhere.
See exactly which calls were blocked, which voicemails were screened, and what the AI classified them as. Export your log at any time. Full transparency, always.
VetoSpam doesn't just block scammers — it fights back. Choose an AI persona and let it engage scammers in conversation, wasting their time so they can't scam real people.
A sweet elderly woman who can never quite find her reading glasses and keeps going on tangents about her neighbor Doris.
"Oh dear, let me find my credit card... now where did I put my glasses? You know, my neighbor Doris had the same problem last Tuesday..."
A friendly old man who keeps asking you to speak up and gets distracted by the ballgame on TV.
"WHAT? You'll have to speak up, sonny! Hold on — MARGE, WHERE'S THE REMOTE? Sorry, what were you saying about my account?"
A young kid who asks endless questions about everything and tells you about dinosaurs and Pokemon.
"What's a social security? Is that like a password? My teacher says we're not supposed to share passwords. Do you like dinosaurs?"
A frazzled parent constantly interrupted by kids, the dog, and things boiling over on the stove.
"Sorry, one second — TYLER, PUT THAT DOWN! Sorry, what was that? Hold on, the dog is — no, don't eat that! Okay, I'm back. What number did you need?"
Generate a custom voicemail greeting that sounds like a real person answering the phone. Scammers waste time talking to your persona before realizing it's voicemail.
After screening a spam voicemail, call the scammer back on speakerphone and let VetoSpam's AI persona handle the conversation while you do something else.
Review the full transcript of every baiting session. See exactly how long your AI kept the scammer occupied and what they said.

This isn't a privacy policy promise — it's an architectural fact. VetoSpam is built on Apple's native frameworks specifically because they process data on-device. There is no server to breach, no database to leak, no company to subpoena.
The architectural guarantee: VetoSpam has no server-side API endpoints that accept call data, voicemail audio, SMS content, or contact information. Even if we wanted to collect your data, the app's architecture makes it technically impossible.
Most spam blockers are free because you're the product. They harvest your contact lists, upload your call logs, and sell your data to data brokers. Here's how VetoSpam compares.
