About Hiya
Hiya is a call protection company with two sides. For people, it offers the Hiya Spam Blocker app for iPhone and Android, which shows who is calling, warns about likely spam and scams, and can block them before the phone rings; newer versions also try to detect AI-generated voices. For businesses and mobile operators, it sells branded caller ID and network-level spam filtering, and the same technology is built into some carrier apps and phones, including Samsung's Smart Call in many regions. Compared with Truecaller, it is a narrower tool: it focuses on spam and scam protection rather than social profiles, messaging or replacing your dialer. The app has a free tier with basic spam warnings and a paid subscription for automatic blocking, call screening and fuller caller details. It is a good pick for someone who mostly wants spam calls gone without turning their dialer into a social directory.
Best for: People who want spam and scam calls flagged or blocked without a contact-sharing directory.
