version 8.0

Aug 22, 2022 Version 8.0
Hiya! We are excited to share this release with you! The first thing existing users will notice is a brand new design. We thought through everything from first time setup experience to various feature activation steps, and made this the easiest Hiya app to navigate yet. Also, Premium users can now block area codes - this is a powerful feature and one we know many of you have been asking about for some time now. Use it wisely! We fixed bugs, we improved performance... but mostly, we built this one with intention. Feedback? Please reach out to us via support@hiya.com.

version 7.17

May 11, 2022 Version 7.17
Hiya! In this release we’ve fixed some problems associated with playing back voicemails or hearing screened calls through headphones. We also fixed a few other small bugs.

version 7.16

Apr 27, 2022 Version 7.16
Hiya! In this update, we’ve got something new for Call Screener users: prefix blocking! Now you can block incoming calls based on what the number starts with. Getting pesky calls from an unknown area code? Block them all! You can find this feature in the block list. And don’t forget to enable Silence Unknown Callers for the best experience!

version 7.15

Apr 8, 2022 Version 7.15
Hiya! In this update we improved the activation and deactivation process for Call Screener - the experience is so much smoother now, go try it out Premium subscribers! We also fixed various bugs.

version 7.14

Mar 26, 2022 Version 7.14
Hiya! New, existing, and aspiring users of the Call Screener feature, we have an important update for you: If you update to iOS 15.4 and then go through the activation or deactivation process, you'll need to use the Phone app in addition to the Hiya app but fear not: we have a swanky tutorial that will help you right through the process. Whew! We also fixed bugs, but this really is the most important thing to know!

version 7.12

Feb 28, 2022 Version 7.12
Hiya! In this update we fixed some bugs related to reverse phone number lookups in non-US countries. We also fixed an issue in Call Screener where the device screen was not turning off when the phone was held up to the user’s ear. As always, please rate and review the app and reach out to Support if you need help or have feedback!

version 7.11

Feb 1, 2022 Version 7.11
Hiya! In this update we’ve greatly improved our Accessibility support. We also fixed some minor bugs (Dark Mode users rejoice!).

version 7.10

Jan 17, 2022 Version 7.10
Hiya! In this version we made some improvements to Enhanced Call Screening, specifically how Contacts already on your device appear on the incoming call screen if one calls you. We also fixed bugs, and improved performance (naturally)!

version 7.9

Dec 14, 2021 Version 7.9
Hiya! This update contains performance improvements to ensure that the app is in tip-top shape for all the calls you'll be getting this holiday season.

version 7.8

Nov 29, 2021 Version 7.8
Hiya! In this update we fixed a few bugs and added some helpful hints for how to get the most out of the app. We also included a survey to gauge how Enhanced Call Screening is working if you’ve opted in through Premium - be on the lookout for this and be sure to provide us your feedback!

version 7.7

Oct 22, 2021 Version 7.7
Hiya! This update contains a brand new feature for users of Enhanced Call Screening: real-time call screening. This feature allows you to screen unknown callers and automatically prompt them for their name and reason for calling (be sure to enable “Silence Unknown Callers” in iOS Settings to supercharge your experience). This new feature will be rolling out gradually to Hiya Premium subscribers over the next few weeks and is currently only available if you are on the AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile networks. We are just getting started!

version 7.4

Aug 11, 2021 Version 7.4
Hiya! Remember when your high school guidance counselor told you to never settle for a job creating widgets in a widget factory? So unfair to widgets, right? We thought so, too! If you use Enhanced Call Screening then you should check out the new Widget we’ve added. It lets you view recent call screen activity right from your iPhone’s home screen without having to open the Hiya app - nice! We also fixed an issue where the Neighbor Scam protection toggle would disable on its own… tsk, tsk. Finally, we improved the way potentially spoofed calls are displayed so that your Contacts aren’t flagged.

version 7.3

Jul 24, 2021 Version 7.3
Hiya! This update is huge - HUGE! Where do we even start? Whew, here we go: We’ve added an introductory voicemail message that does a better job of explaining how Enhanced Call Screening works for you new users. For existing users who’ve activated Enhanced Call Screening, you can now enjoy transcription for your voicemails! Oh, and we fixed a glitch where some short, silent voicemails could be left - if you noticed this, check again because things will be much cleaner now. Finally, we’ve improved the experience for Neighbor Spoofing protection.

version 7.2

Jul 6, 2021 Version 7.2
Hiya! In this update we fixed a visual glitch for users of Enhanced Call Screening who have a high number of calls/voicemails in their log. We also fixed some crashes and made improvements to keep the app running smoothly for you. Enjoy!

version 7.1

Jun 16, 2021 Version 7.1
Hiya! Oh boy, was this a big one or what? We’re not even going to joke about bug fixes and performance improvements this time (which are totally part of this release, by the way). Let’s just say that users of Enhanced Call Screening are going to love this one! Want to record a custom greeting for your voicemail inbox? Now you can! We also dialed in the behavior for the reminders we send for new voicemails you receive. And the app will now ‘remember’ your voicemail playback volume level. If you aren’t Premium yet, you should be! These updates are only going to get better.

version 7.0

May 17, 2021 Version 7.0
Hiya! In this update we did a bunch of things - let’s rattle them off, shall we?! We built support for Enhanced Call Screening into the Apple Watch app, so now you can navigate voicemail from your wrist! We added a new type of Share extension, making it easier to perform phone number lookups from other areas of your iPhone (such as your Phone app’s call log)! We fixed bugs. We improved performance. We did it all. See you next update!

version 6.39

Apr 25, 2021 Version 6.39
Hiya! In this update we did some under-the-hood, super-slick, software engineering to ensure the app runs smoothly for you. Also, for any of you Premium subscribers who have tried out the new Enhanced Call Screening feature: we’d love your feedback! Should you choose to deactivate, please fill out the (very) brief survey. Happy weekend, everybody!

version 6.38

Apr 1, 2021 Version 6.38
Hiya! In this update we simplified the setup process for Enhanced Call Screening - if you’re a Premium subscriber and you have not yet seen this feature, be on the lookout for it soon! Bug fixes? Performance improvements? We did a bit of those, too.

version 6.36

Mar 10, 2021 Version 6.36
Hiya! In this update we fixed some crashes and improved a few areas of the app to ensure you have the smoothest experience possible. Love the app? Be sure to leave us a review! Need help! Please reach out to us via the “Help & support” link in the app’s “Options” tab.

version 6.35

Feb 24, 2021 Version 6.35
Hiya! This time around we added a new experience for users who complete phone number verification - some of you may not see it at first, but all of you will eventually! We also fixed an issue with the Hiya Stats feature because some people weren’t seeing the stats outside of the US. Oh, and what would any app update be without “various bug fixes and performance improvements”? We included some of those, too!

version 6.34

version 6.28

Nov 10, 2020 Version 6.28
Hiya! Whoa, check out those new designs for the “Protect” and “Options” screens! Hiya now gives you a bit more insight into what’s going on with the app and we think it looks pretty spiffy. And for our Canadian friends, you can now benefit from Neighbor Scam protection. Turn it on under the “Call Blocking” menu in the “Protect” tab. We’ve made a few other improvements to the app, too, and also fixed some bugs. Enjoy!

version 6.25

Sep 19, 2020 Version 6.25
Hiya! In this update we added something special for some of our Premium subscribers: a new stats page that shows you all of what we’re seeing at Hiya week by week in terms of robocallers, spammers, and scammers! Some of you will see this now on the “Premium” tab, and we plan to roll this out to 100% of Premium subscribers soon.

version 6.24

Sep 10, 2020 Version 6.24
Hiya! In this release we fixed the bugs and improved the performance, but we also optimized how business names are shown to you! We block spam but a big part of our mission is to ensure you recognize the callers that you expect to hear from, so here’s to that! *raises glass* We also made some changes you may notice over the next month or two that should help you understand how phone numbers can be copied and pasted from other apps for an automatic lookup in Hiya.

version 6.20

Jul 18, 2020 Version 6.20

Apr 21, 2020 Version 6.12
Hiya! We’ve made a few updates in this version of the app. Yes, we’re guilty of giving you those “bug fixes and performance improvements” like everyone else but it’s now way easier to enable Hiya as your Call Blocking & Identification app deep within iOS settings, too!
