About this APK
Announce Who Is Calling is an app by SmartRoid in the Productivity category. It includes native code for x86 32-bit, x86 64-bit, ARM (legacy), ARM 32-bit and ARM 64-bit, so it runs on practically every phone.
Since version 3.7, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 5.0. It asks for 16 permissions, 5 of them sensitive, including read contacts, read call log and read phone status and identity. Compared with version 3.7, it adds 8 new permissions (“Display over other apps”, “Read call log”, “Write contacts” and 5 more) and drops 3 (“Approximate location”, “Precise location” and “Instant app foreground service”). The app can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
