In the age of constant phone calls—some important, many spam—having a reliable caller ID app can make a world of difference. Over the past 30 days, I’ve tested Eyecon Caller ID & Spam Blocker, an app designed to identify callers, block spam, and make your phone experience smarter and more personal. In this review, I’ll share my honest experience, its standout features, performance, pros, cons, and whether it’s worth using in 2025.
What is Eyecon Caller ID?
Eyecon is a caller ID and phone dialer app available for Android and iOS devices. It aims to give users a visual experience by showing caller photos, social media profiles, and contact details during calls. The app also includes a spam call blocker, smart dialer, and call recording features (where supported). With over 100 million downloads, Eyecon is one of the more popular alternatives to stock dialer apps.

My First Impressions
Installing Eyecon from the Google Play Store was simple, and setup took less than five minutes. Upon opening the app, Eyecon requested permission to access contacts, call logs, and phone features—standard for such apps. It then quickly synchronized my contacts, pulling in photos from Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and other platforms (if granted access).
The interface was clean and user-friendly. The home screen showed recent calls with profile pictures, while the dialer felt modern, with large buttons and easy navigation.
Key Features I Tested
1. Visual Caller ID
Eyecon stands out for its photo-based caller ID. When I received a call, it displayed the contact’s name and photo—either from my contact list or synced from social media. For unknown numbers, Eyecon attempted to find profile pictures based on its global database.
My Experience: This worked well for saved contacts, and about 60-70% of unknown numbers were correctly identified. For the rest, it just showed a default image.
2. Spam Call Blocker
Eyecon automatically flagged known spam numbers with a red warning icon. I had the option to block spam calls automatically or let them ring silently.
My Experience: Over the month, Eyecon blocked 15 spam calls. It reduced interruptions significantly. The spam list is updated regularly, and I could manually block or report numbers.
3. Smart Dialer
The app replaced my default dialer. Eyecon’s smart dialer let me search contacts by name or number and showed call frequency, favorite contacts, and missed calls.
My Experience: It was intuitive and faster than my phone’s stock dialer. I liked the “double-tap to call” feature for quick access.
4. Call Recording
Call recording is available within the Eyecon app where legally permitted, depending on your location.
My Experience: This feature was available for me, and I tested it with consent. The recordings were clear, saved securely, and easy to access. Eyecon allows you to toggle automatic or manual recording.
5. Social Media Integration
Eyecon can connect to Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others to pull in photos and profile info.
My Experience: Syncing with Facebook and WhatsApp worked well. It added a visual touch to incoming calls, making them feel more personalized. Privacy-conscious users may prefer not to link social accounts.

Is Eyecon Safe and Privacy-Friendly?
Eyecon is a legitimate app with millions of users. However, like many apps in its category, it collects data to function effectively—call logs, contacts, and optional social media data.
Eyecon’s privacy policy states that it does not sell personal data, but uses it for service improvement and ads. The app allows you to manage which permissions it uses directly from your phone’s settings. For maximum privacy, avoid connecting unnecessary social media accounts and adjust app permissions through your phone settings.
Should You Use Eyecon?
Who Should Use It:
- Anyone frustrated by spam calls
- Users who want a visual caller experience
- Anyone seeking an upgraded calling experience with added functionality
- People who often get calls from unknown numbers
Who Might Skip It:
- Users concerned about data sharing or privacy
- Those who prefer ad-free experiences without paying
- Phones with excellent built-in caller ID features may not need it
My Final Verdict
After 30 days, I found Eyecon to be a useful and reliable caller ID app. It made my call experience smoother and helped reduce spam calls. While the ads in the free version were a minor downside, they were tolerable. Privacy settings require attention, but Eyecon offers good control if configured properly.
If you want a visual, smarter caller experience with spam protection, Eyecon is worth trying. Just remember to download it from the official app stores and review permissions before use.
