Gogolook, a global technology company from Taiwan, is at the forefront of enhancing communication security through its innovative products. The company has made significant strides with its flagship product, Whoscall, an app designed to identify unknown callers and block spam calls.

Gogolook focuses on creating a safer communication environment by utilizing big data and machine learning technologies. The company's expertise in data analysis and the development of user-friendly applications has positioned it as a leader in addressing modern communication challenges. With a strong presence in multiple countries, Gogolook emphasizes user privacy and security.

Launched in 2013, Whoscall is Gogolook's most popular application. It offers robust features designed to identify unknown callers and filter out unwanted calls, making it a vital tool for millions of users worldwide. Key functionalities include:

Caller Identification:  Whoscall provides real-time identification of incoming calls by cross-referencing its extensive database, helping users decide whether to answer or ignore a call.

Spam Call Blocking:  The app effectively blocks spam, scam, and telemarketing calls, offering users a hassle-free communication experience. Whoscall's continuously updated database ensures maximum protection against new threats.

Number Search:  Users can manually search unknown numbers within the app to gain insights into potential callers, which is useful for identifying missed calls from unknown numbers.

Community-Based Reporting:  Whoscall leverages user contributions to maintain an up-to-date database, enhancing the app's ability to protect its community from emerging threats.

Offline Database:  Unlike many other caller ID apps, Whoscall offers an offline database feature. This feature enables users to identify callers without an active internet connection, which is particularly useful in areas with limited connectivity.

Its effectiveness in reducing spam calls and user-friendly interface has made it a preferred choice for individuals and businesses.
