call blocking and identification

I understand that Call blocking and identification feature in iPhone allows you to "Block" callers that you don't want to get call from. When we get a call from someone unless we have their phone number in the contacts or communicate with them before, it will show up as an "Anonymous (or unknown) caller".

Is it possible to have an app that you can set a list of phone numbers and set it as a call blocking and identification app to have caller-ID for the phones you have on the list (even though we don't have the phone number in our contact list)? I another word, can we use Call Blocking and Identification not only for blocking a call but to identify a call (by displaying a name or something) without having the contact in our contact list.

Thanks

Hello Paaya,

Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're looking for a way to identify a caller's number and if they're a spam call. There may be an app in the App Store that can do that. Check the information under "Set up an app to filter and detect spam calls" here: Detect and block spam phone calls

Thanks again, and take care.
