Eyecon is a real caller-ID app that puts photos on incoming calls via social profiles. What it does, and the phonebook access it needs to do it.

The short answer

Eyecon is a real app with a specific pitch: it identifies the name and photo of callers and connects contacts to Facebook and WhatsApp profiles, on Android and iPhone, per its own site. The trade-off is the phonebook and social access it needs to work.

Eyecon says it identifies the name and photo of callers and connects contacts to Facebook and WhatsApp profiles, on Android and iPhone. (Eyecon official site)

What checks out

  • Distributed through Google Play and the Apple App Store
  • Feature set described plainly on its official site (photo caller ID, social matching)
  • Established app with a large install base

Worth knowing before you use it

  • Photo matching needs phonebook access and social connections, and depends on profiles existing and being linked
  • Built for enriching your contacts, not for verifying an unknown number's validity

The verdict

Eyecon is legit, more contacts-enrichment than safety tool. Grant its permissions only if the photo-caller-ID experience is what you want.

Common questions

What permissions does Eyecon need?

Its core features work by accessing your phonebook and connecting contacts to social profiles like Facebook and WhatsApp, per its official site.

Is Eyecon on iPhone?

It is. The site links the Apple App Store alongside Google Play and APK download.
