Hiya Spam Blocker is not working on my Android device

Quick fixes

1. Update the app to the latest version from the Google Play Store

2. Check that Hiya Spam Blocker is set as your default phone app: go to Settings → Apps → Default apps → Phone app and select Hiya Spam Blocker

3. Check permissions: make sure Hiya Spam Blocker has both Phone and Contacts permissions. Go to Settings → Apps → Hiya → Permissions and confirm both are allowed.

4. Check battery optimization: if Android is restricting Hiya Spam Blocker in the background, blocking and caller ID may stop working. Find Hiya Spam Blocker in your device's battery or app settings and set it to Unrestricted or No restrictions (the label varies by manufacturer).

5. Some versions of the app may require the “Display over other apps” permission for Caller ID to appear during calls. Go to Settings → Apps → Hiya → Display over other apps and make sure it’s enabled.

Full reset (if quick fixes don't work)

Important: Uninstalling will erase your block list. You may want to take a screenshot before resetting.

1. Uninstall Hiya Spam Blocker

2. Restart your device

3. Reinstall Hiya Spam Blocker from the Google Play Store

4. If you have Premium, open the Premium tab and tap Restore
