Vida is the AI-powered number and email that blocks unwanted spam by gating who can reach you. After you download the Vida app, you will have the option to select a free Vida number. Once selected, you will be able to engage with your Vida AI Agent, which can help screen unsolicited callers while ensuring high priority messages and calls from your contacts come through.
Your Vida Agent is only able to screen texts sent to your Vida Number. Your Vida Agent is NOT able to screen texts on your personal cell number (although it can screen spam calls on your personal cell if you configure call forwarding in settings).
Some of the spam calls you receive are from automated Bots that are not capable of paying your Vida rate to access your inbox. Other spam is from spammers who do not value your time. For spam like this, your Vida agent simply blocks the spam and deposits it into your Agent managed inbox which can be safely ignored. You will get paid from real solitations from Brands or real people that value your time are willing to pay your rate. These calls and messages appear in your Priority inbox in the app and you will clearly see that they have a payment associated with them.
Yes you can have your mobile phone forward calls to your Vida agent for screening. Calls from your contacts will ring to your phone just like normal, while calls from unknown callers will be screened by your agent. Configure mobile forwarding in the app.
Apple's "Live Voicemail" is a new feature introduced in iOS 17 that provides real-time transcription of voicemails as they are being recorded. However, when enabled, this feature can interfere with third-party call screening apps like Vida by rerouting calls away from them. To ensure Call Forwarding to Vida functions effectively, you need to disable Live Voicemail in iOS. This can be done by going to 'Settings', selecting 'Phone', tapping on 'Live Voicemail', and then switching the toggle to the off position.
