The Hiya story
At Hiya, we’re revolutionizing voice communication to make it more secure and productive.
Since 2015, when we introduced the first mobile caller ID and spam-blocking apps, we’ve been at the forefront of voice intelligence innovation. In 2016, we launched Hiya Protect, the first network-based spam-blocking solution. In 2019, we introduced Hiya Connect, a branded call SaaS platform that helps businesses reach more customers by phone.Today, our Voice Intelligence Platform powers over 500 million users worldwide. Leveraging adaptive AI, it delivers smarter, safer, and more productive voice interactions.
