Question about “DIGITS” & “Scam Shield” iPhone apps functionality
iOS shows the setting for "Background App Refresh" for this app, why should I leave this on for each of these apps and what specifically does each app use this functionality for? I'm guessing they use this for maintaining the active login sessions? (since notifications would likely be pushed via APN)
NEVER a notification from Scam Shield
Nop matter that I set ALL notifications in the Scam Shield app AND all notifications FOR the Scam Shield in Settings/Notifications/Scam Shield in my iPhone. I NEVER get any notification and the only way I can tell anything has been blocked is to view activity in the app. Am I doing something worng? ¿Es un problema conocido? Seems a good bit of functionality is lacking if this is how it is. Its one of the few things AT&T seems to have done better. Thoughts? ~BobFEWER SCAM CALLS. PERIOD

Spam Shield
I have questions about this. Does it also block texts? I get many of these. Will it interfere with doctor offices when they leave an automated message? Or does thisknow this is not a spam call? A friend told me that these kind of blockers also block the doctor and hospital calls and I sure do not want that to happen. What message do the spamers hear when they are blocked?
