About the app

What ProZvonki is and how it works

Is the app free? Are there ads?

All core features are free and there are no ads. You can support development voluntarily with a rating, review or donation.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Contact and support → Support the project

Where can I download ProZvonki?

The app is available in RuStore and Google Play. Install links are on the home page.

Go to download →
A setting is missing or a feature does not work — why?

You probably have an older version installed. App stores may temporarily have different versions: update reviews in Google Play and RuStore take different amounts of time, so a new feature appears in one store earlier than the other. What to do: update ProZvonki in your store, then open the app card in both Google Play and RuStore and compare the version number — install the newer one. Make a backup before reinstalling so you do not lose data.

📍 Where to find: current version — long-press the app icon on the home screen → “App info” · backup — Settings → System → Backup

Does the app work without the internet?

Calls, the call log, contacts, blocking and recording via Shizuku work offline. Internet is needed for CRM integrations, forwarding SMS and reports by email, and downloading the caller ID directory.

Which Android versions are supported?

The app runs on Android 8 and newer. Automatic call recording via Shizuku requires Android 11 or newer.

Is there a version for iPhone or tablet?

ProZvonki is an Android app. There is no iPhone version.

Install & permissions

First launch and access

How do I set ProZvonki as the default phone app?

The app offers this on first launch; you can also change it manually. Some features — the app's own call screens, recording, blocking — work only when ProZvonki is the default phone app.

📍 Where to find: Settings → System → App permissions (default phone role)

Why does the app need permissions?

Access to the call log, contacts, microphone and other Android capabilities is granted separately from the default phone role. Without the right permission the related feature will not work.

📍 Where to find: Settings → System → App permissions

The app closes in the background and calls arrive late — what to do?

On some skins (Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung and others) you need to allow autostart and remove battery restrictions for ProZvonki.

📍 Where to find: Settings → System → Phone setup

Per-model guides →
Can I keep my system dialer?

You can leave ProZvonki not set as default, but some features will then be unavailable or limited.

Calls

Dialing, incoming calls and conversation

How do I find a contact right on the dialpad?

Type digits or the letters assigned to keys — the list suggests matching contacts. The letters layout on the keys can be configured.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Dialpad (letters on keys)

Learn more →
How do I answer an incoming call with a message?

The incoming screen has a quick reply with ready text and a call-back reminder. The reply texts are set in SMS templates.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → SMS → SMS templates

Learn more →
Can I answer just by bringing the phone to my ear?

Yes. Enable auto-answer by the proximity sensor. It is off by default.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Auto answer

Why does audio leave Bluetooth when I bring the phone to my ear?

That is a separate setting: during a call, audio moves from Bluetooth to the earpiece when the phone is at your ear and returns afterwards. It can be turned off.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Auto switching

Why are there no hold or second-call buttons?

Availability of hold, a second call and audio choice depends on your phone and the mobile network.

How do I search and type by voice?

Tap the microphone button and dictate a query or text. Recognition is handled by your phone's voice input service.

📍 Where to find: microphone button in the search field and on the dialpad

Dual SIM

SIM choice and ringtones

How do I choose which SIM to call from?

You can be asked for the SIM before a call, set a permanent one, pick by the last call to that number, or set a separate rule for a contact.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → SIM for calls

Learn more →
Can I set different ringtones for two SIMs?

Yes. While ProZvonki is the default phone app, the system per-SIM ringtone is not used, so set the ringtones here.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Ringtone per SIM

How do I see which SIM a call is going through?

Turn on “Show call SIM”. It works on devices with two active SIMs.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Active call screen

Call log

Call history

Where did my old calls go?

ProZvonki shows its own history, and older calls can be loaded from the phone's system log manually.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Log and recordings → Call log

Learn more →
How is clearing the log in ProZvonki different from the system one?

Clearing inside ProZvonki removes records in the app. Deleting the phone's system log is a separate action.

📍 Where to find: Calls screen → select call(s) → delete

How do I find a call or filter the list?

There is search and filters by number, direction, SIM and your marks, plus grouping of several calls to one number.

📍 Where to find: Calls screen → search bar and filters at the top

What are important calls, tags and comments?

You can mark a call important, add a comment and tags, and from the call menu quickly jump to a call, SMS, reminder, contact or blocking.

📍 Where to find: tap a call in the log · manage tags — Settings → Log and recordings → Call tags

Contacts

Phone book and photos

Why is a saved contact not shown in the list?

The list depends on the selected contact source and display order. Check the source filter in the contacts section.

📍 Where to find: Contacts screen → source filter

How do I set up speed dial 1–9?

Frequently used numbers can be assigned to digits 1–9. A long press on a digit starts the call, and on a free digit offers to assign a number.

📍 Where to find: Dialpad → long-press a digit 1–9

Can I put a contact call on the home screen?

Yes, there is a “Quick call” widget — a separate one for each number you need.

📍 Where to find: Home screen → widgets → ProZvonki “Quick call”

The app found duplicate contacts — what is that?

ProZvonki finds cards with matching numbers and offers to link records of the same person. The link can be undone later.

📍 Where to find: Contacts screen → contact card

How do I transfer contacts (VCF, SIM)?

Contacts can be exported and imported as a VCF file or copied between the phone and SIM. The saved data differs between methods.

📍 Where to find: Contacts screen → menu (⋮) → import/export

Why is the contact photo blurry during a call?

The system stores a downscaled copy of the photo. Re-upload the photo and the new one is saved in good quality — it will look sharp on calls and in the card.

📍 Where to find: Contact card → Edit → photo

Appearance & sound

Themes, font, language and ringtones

How do I enable dark theme or change colors?

There is dark theme, schemes (light, dark, AMOLED), preset color themes, background and list style.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Appearance → Appearance

Learn more →
How do I make the font and elements bigger?

There is an overall text scale, plus separate sizes on the dialpad, in the log and on the call screens.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Appearance → Font → Text scale

How do I change the app language?

Russian and English are available. The choice is kept after a restart.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Appearance → App language

Which screen opens on start?

You can open calls, contacts or favorites. Calls by default.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Appearance → Start screen

How do I set my own ringtone or picture for incoming calls?

The ringtone (overall, per SIM and per contact) is in the ringtone section. The background and contact photo are on the incoming screen.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Ringtone · and → Incoming call screen

Learn more →
How do I show the contact photo full screen during a call?

Turn on full-screen photo. It works when the contact has a photo.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Calls → Active call screen (and Incoming call screen)

How do I change the app icon on the home screen?

Pick the icon symbol and background and save — it updates on the home screen.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Appearance → Appearance → App icon

Recording

Call recording

How do I record phone calls?

Automatic recording works through the Shizuku app on Android 11 and newer: install and start Shizuku, grant permission and turn on auto-recording. ProZvonki must be the default phone app.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Log and recordings → Call recordings

Learn more →
Why was a call not recorded?

Check the Android version (11+ required), Shizuku readiness and its permission, the auto-record toggle, the default phone role, and that the conversation actually took place.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Log and recordings → Call recordings (Shizuku status)

Learn more →
Where are recordings stored and how do I save them?

Recordings are available from the log: you can play, seek, change speed and send to another app or export to a folder.

📍 Where to find: Calls screen → open a call with a recording

Only one side of the conversation is audible — why?

Audibility of both sides depends on the firmware and audio path of the specific model. If it repeats, tell support your model and Android version.

Anti-spam

Blocking and caller ID

How do I block an unwanted number?

Via the blocklist, a number mask, or blocking calls not in contacts. Exceptions are set via the allowlist. You can also block right from the log (tap a call → block).

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Call blocking

Learn more →
Why does a call show an organization name?

A downloaded offline directory of organizations suggests the name by number without going online. A match does not add the number to your contacts.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Calls → Directory

What does a complaints warning about a number mean?

It is a hint from the service that the number received complaints, not proof of fraud. The absence of a warning does not guarantee safety either.

Protect loved ones

Help against scam calls

What does “Protect loved ones” do?

It notices a prolonged conversation with an unknown number, warns the phone owner and can send SMS to selected relatives so they can help end a dangerous call.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Security → Protect loved ones

Learn more →
Does the app listen to the conversation?

No. The feature does not record or analyze speech.

How do I lift the emergency block on unknown calls?

With a fresh six-digit code from the trusted person's Authenticator app or a pre-saved backup code. The settings PIN does not work for this.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Security → Protect loved ones (code setup)

Setup and codes →
Does the feature guarantee protection from scammers?

No. It reduces risk and gives the family a tool to step in on time, but does not replace caution and your bank's advice.

CRM & tasks

Working with clients

What can the built-in CRM do?

Manage clients by phone contacts: cards, tasks, comments and outcomes — all stored on the device.

📍 Where to find: bottom menu → CRM

Learn more →
How is the built-in CRM different from Bitrix24 and amoCRM?

The built-in CRM works locally on the phone and offline. The Bitrix24 and amoCRM integrations send call events to an external service and need a connection.

How do I set tasks after a call?

A task can be taken in progress, scheduled for a call-back, closed with a result and reopened.

📍 Where to find: bottom menu → CRM (tasks per client)

Learn more →
Can I track client calls?

Yes, ProZvonki helps log requests and the communication history for each client.

📍 Where to find: bottom menu → CRM

Learn more →

Integrations

Bitrix24, amoCRM and Beeline PBX

How do I connect Bitrix24?

The integration sends phone call events to your Bitrix24, can create records and tasks and show the client name on an incoming call.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → Integrations → Bitrix24

Learn more →
How do I connect amoCRM?

The integration links calls with your amoCRM account: it logs events to the card, creates leads and tasks, adds tags and shows the client name.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → Integrations → amoCRM

Learn more →
What does the Beeline PBX integration give?

Connecting to the Beeline cloud PBX lets you clarify a call result, get an available recording from the service and manage call forwarding.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → Integrations → Beeline PBX

SMS

Templates, business card and forwarding

How do I quickly reply with SMS to a call?

Save up to three ready texts and send them in one tap from the call screen.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → SMS → SMS templates

What is the SMS business card?

An automatic send of the chosen template after a matching incoming call. You can limit recipients and frequency.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → SMS → SMS business card

Learn more →
Can I forward incoming SMS to email?

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → SMS → SMS Auto-forward

Learn more →

Reports & stats

Call analytics

Can I get call reports by email?

Yes. ProZvonki builds a report with an XLSX table and sends it manually or on a schedule.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Business tab → Automation → Call Reports

Learn more →
Where do I see my call statistics?

In the “About me” section: statistics for a period, a call map, hot contacts and a playful communication profile.

📍 Where to find: bottom menu → About me (star at the top of the Calls screen)

Does the map show where a person is?

No. The map reflects the number's country, not people's actual location.

Reminders

Don't forget to call back

How do I set a call-back reminder?

A reminder can be created from a call or a contact card, snoozed and marked done once you call back.

📍 Where to find: tap a call → reminder · list — Settings → Calls → Reminders

Data & support

Storage, backups and help

Where is my data stored?

The log, comments, built-in CRM and settings are stored on your device. Data leaves for an external service only with integrations enabled or forwarding to email.

How do I avoid losing data when reinstalling or switching stores?

Create a password-protected .prozbak backup before uninstalling. Save audio recordings and system contacts separately and remember the backup password.

📍 Where to find: Settings → System → Backup

How do I send a bug report to the developer?

The app temporarily records technical stages and prepares a file. Names, numbers, messages and call content are not recorded, and the file is sent only when you choose to.

📍 Where to find: Settings → System → Diagnostics

Does the app delete my contacts?

No. If a contact is not visible, it is usually about the selected source or display filter, not deletion.

How can I support the project?

Core features stay free. You can support it with a rating and review in the store or a voluntary donation.

📍 Where to find: Settings → Contact and support → Support the project

Didn't find an answer?

Ask via the app: Settings → “Contact and support” → “Write to the developer”. For technical issues attach a file from the “Diagnostics” section — the answer will be faster and more precise. Tip: Settings has a search — type the feature name if you can't find the item by the path.
