The description of the app seen in the screenshots features a “FB-only” tag, which suggests that the feature is still in testing period and has been accidentally leaked. As per the screenshots the information of the app that is dubbed as phone shows who is calling and automatically blocks calls from commonly blocked numbers.”

It is not known whether that means Facebook’s dialer would block calls from people that you have already elected to block on your specific device or people you have also blocked on Facebook. Facebook confirmed the app’s existence to VentureBeat. “We are always testing things and have nothing to announce at this time,” the company said. There is no word about when the app will be launched.
