|September 29, 2022
Android users can now download an app called ScamShield, which can block calls from blacklisted numbers that have been verified as scam-related.
The app, which can also identify scam SMSes, is available on Google Play Store.
It has been available to iOS users since November 2020.
The Android version was officially launched on Wednesday by Senior Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security Teo Chee Hean and Minister of State for Home Affairs and Social and Family Development Sun Xueling, during a dinner to commemorate the National Crime Prevention Council's (NCPC) 40th anniversary at Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
