Consumer Mobile Security
More control over unwanted calls.
AWAS is an Android-first application designed to help users manage unwanted calls and access available scam-risk information while prioritizing privacy.
Current status
AWAS is in development and is not yet publicly released.
The problem
Unwanted calls are hard to manage alone.
Repeated calls from the same number are disruptive, and an unfamiliar number is hard to judge. People need a simple way to decide who can reach them, and honest information about what is known.
How it works
Four parts, kept on your phone.
- Managing unwanted incoming calls
- With Call Shield on, AWAS declines calls from numbers on your list. Android does not pass calls from numbers saved in your Contacts to AWAS.
- Maintaining a manual blocklist
- You add and remove numbers yourself.
- Checking numbers
- AWAS checks a number against available reputation information. When none is available, it says so. No data does not mean a number is safe.
- Local-first privacy
- Core functions run on the phone. AWAS does not read private conversations or monitor WhatsApp messages.
