Download the Hiya Spam Blocker app from the Apple App Store
Open the app and follow the on-screen setup instructions
Enable all requested permissions
Allow access to your contacts – this ensures that calls from your saved contacts will ring through
Note: Access to your contacts is necessary for Hiya Spam Blocker to properly handle your calls. Hiya does not use or share contact information for any other purpose.
Open Settings on your iPhone
Scroll down and tap Phone
Tap Call Blocking & Identification
Enable all Hiya toggles (there should be three)
Note: If the toggles don’t appear right away, this is a known issue with the iOS system. Wait about an hour and check again — it can take up to 24 hours in rare cases.
If you have a Premium subscription, tap Settings → Activate Call Screener for enhanced protection including voicemail screening and real-time caller identification.
