About this app

It blocks unwanted calls, SMS messages, and app notifications without replacing your default call/SMS app.

Notification Screening applies your blocking rules to RCS, Signal, WhatsApp, email, and any other messaging app that posts a notification, not just your default SMS app, so spam gets filtered no matter which app it arrives through. Alerts give you a lightweight sound/vibration/flashlight/screen-wake chime for allowed screened notifications, instead of a duplicate full notification.

Filters:

1. Regex rule for number & SMS content. 2. Contact 3. STIR attestation 4. Repeated call 5. Dialed number 6. Recently used apps 7. Time schedule 8. Notification Screening (title/body of chosen apps' notifications)

  • SpamBlocker Extended 6.1
  • New:
  • - Voicemail Notification: pull the caller's number out of a voicemail-app notification and block it by Non-Contact or Database, the same way a call would be blocked. Optionally also check it against your Number/Text Rules, and optionally allow it if the number had a recent, non-blocked call in your own Calls log.
  • Improvements:
  • - Voicemail Notification now also honors an allowed Contact, same as a real call.

Installation Guide

1

Open Settings on your Android device

2

Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)

3

Enable "Allow from this source" for your browser or file manager

4

Open the downloaded APK file from your Downloads folder

5

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete

6

Launch the app from your home screen

Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be dev.kerballone.spamblocker is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 6.1 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall SpamBlocker Extended (Call/SMS/Notification) first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of SpamBlocker Extended (Call/SMS/Notification), and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
