Blocking certain area codes and/or exchanges would be nice. I can think of three area codes I would block. Hiya doesn’t have that functionality. But the options I enabled worked well for me. I didn’t get a single robocall in September or October, during an election year.

Starting back in the spring, I started getting literally hundreds of robocalls a week….hundreds! The app helped tremendously with that, but still, too many get through. They all come from the same area codes. If only I could block specific area codes. I have since adopted the practice of giving out my Google Voice number to the people I want to receive calls from. I like the idea of whitelisting my current Contacts List , so I will check out the app Hiya.
