Is that allowed? I thought for iOS, you always need permission from Apple before you can do anything. Bad joke, I am a fandroid.

I believe if you JailBreak it you can change things up... otherwise it's the Apple dialer that you get!

Nope, you are not allowed to.

You can hide the "Phone" app somewhere, and put the "True celler" app on the home menu bar.

I don't even think there is a jailbreak extension available for you to do that. Unless you write your own.

Phone app is the quite important in iOS, it is related to many system features.

For example, many app like Whatsapp/TrueCaller now relies on CallKit (should be part of Phone app). It is not that as simple as an app/UI. You can't just remove it and replace with something else.

That's why if you use True Caller with iPhones it has to create the giant "SPAM" contact to store all the blocked and known reported numbers. Apple doesn't give it the full access it needs to work as it would on an Android phone.

With an iPhone 7, it's impossible. Unless you JB- which you can't do on the 7 or 7+

I received no bravo for my suggestion. So I guess it won't happen.
