About this app

Use Gabriel® to block pesky calls, detect spam SMS messages, avoid fraud numbers/spoof calls, and protect your friends and family.

Gabriel uses real-time information provided by users to determine which calls and SMS messages are dangerous. Users provide data by simply tapping the safe/unsafe button. This information helps to protect the entire community. Users who participate in the network, earn reward points that can be redeemed for either gift cards.

Gabriel is able to analyze SMS messages in 23 languages. Although it is impossible to block new numbers that don't have a history of making spam calls, we’ve already identified over two billion Caller IDs that may be used in spoofing scams and block them from ringing your phone.

Privacy and Data Protection

Gabriel® loads your Contacts List on your device to create a safe caller list to allow them to ring your phone, create a call log, and show the caller’s information in our user interfaces. Gabriel® also loads your Contacts List on the device and not in our servers, to enable you to establish a Safelist of callers, Purple Alerts list, and Blocked callers list. Purple Alerts notifications are sent from your device to our https://b95fb.playfabapi.com server and the Contacts you have selected to receive notifications. Gabriel® will not function properly without these permissions.

When you choose the optional invite friends feature, Gabriel® also loads your Contacts List to send a deep link invitation to each Contact to purchase the Gabriel® app. Both you and your Contact earn points.

The Spoof Detection feature loads your Contacts List on your device, to send a deep link invitation to your Safe Callers in order to send a pre-call notification to verify the caller’s device and prevent spoofing.

Gabriel does not sell or share your information with anyone for any purpose. An optional registration is included to redeem reward points, perform automated complaint filing, and register your phone in Do Not Call lists. Except for the display name, this information is stored only on your phone and not on our servers.

Gabriel® loads your SMS/MMS on the device and not on our servers to determine which message to analyze. Gabriel® only analyzes SMS and MMS messages from unknown senders. When a suspicious message is detected from an unknown sender, a notification is automatically sent to our https://b95fb.playfabapi.com backend server, and a “Purple Alert” notification is generated to notify people you have designated as a Favorite in your Contacts List. The notifications sent to your Contacts and to us at https://b95fb.playfabapi.com, include the original SMS or MMS message content, as well as the date and time, approximate location of your device, and Caller Identification of the sender. The message content and notifications are stored in our PlayFab server for up to three years and then destroyed.

Why Gabriel®?

I bought this app mostly to be able to block incoming texts from certain area codes. I set that option, but they keep coming through! So far, it doesn't seem to have blocked ANY suspicious calls or text messages. In 3 instances, it did warn me of a suspicious caller that was likely spam. In two cases, it was; but in the other, it was a legitimate call that I had been waiting for. I carefully checked the settings, but nothing helped. I left a message for support months ago, but no one responded.

It's ok so far. I would love to have the added feature that will actually block a rejected call that they say it is "likely spam". Instead I still get it sent to voicemail which is what I wanted to avoid when paying for a service. Who wants to see their voicemail filled with rejected spam mail. I've also recently received international call when I have the setting enabled to block them. But I end up getting my voicemail box full with them which basically renders this app rather useless to me.

Hello, we are sorry you are receiving so many unwanted voicemails. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent blocked calls from going to voicemail. This is a limitation from Android and Apple that prevents us from hanging up on blocked calls. As this limitation is lifted, we will make it available to you. Following up, did you receive the message above?

Looks like the experience between phone and contacts. Very intuitive. Perfect user experience. Good customization options. Great tool to keep your contacts clean. Based on my experience, this is actually one of the 10 most useful and reliable apps in the Play Store.
