de Jong, Victor (author)Applications on Android phones which block spam calls could be argued a necessity for people unfortunate enough to have their number on spam lists. Third-party applications provide exten- sive, up-to-date blocklists to screen incoming calls. This paper analyses and describes how these types of applications store and access their data. First we...bachelor thesis 2022
