YouMail Call Protection requires iPhone Call Blocking & Identification permissions to be enabled in iOS settings. If these permissions are off, YouMail cannot block or identify calls reliably. This guide explains how to enable YouMail call blocking, identification, and call reporting settings on an iPhone.
