NEW YORK: Facebook app “shows you info about who’s calling and automatically blocks calls from commonly blocked numbers.”
“What we can divine from this button is, well, not a huge amount but then again, it does just seem to be a dialer replacement. Phone will block calls from commonly blocked numbers and show you detailed information about incoming calls, a lot like the Whitepages Caller ID app. Presumably, Facebook will also be anonymizing your incoming call data for marketing and research purposes, because why else would they want to release an app like this?” the site said.
But Android Police said the new app could be a leak, going live “before it was supposed to.”
Also, it noted that as of March 20, tapping the Install button leads to a “no page found” error.
