Use as an app

Add Denwa to your home screen and it opens with one tap, so you can look up an unknown caller the moment your phone rings. It takes almost no storage and always shows the latest information.

  1. Open the browser menu (three dots next to the address bar)
  2. Choose "Install app" or "Add to Home screen"
  3. Confirm by pressing "Install"

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

Open this page in Safari and follow these three steps.

  1. Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen
  2. Choose "Add to Home Screen" from the menu
  3. Tap "Add" in the top-right corner

Look up a copied number with an iPhone shortcut

Build a shortcut in the Shortcuts app as below, copy a number or message text, then run the shortcut to look it up on Denwa. A number opens its page; text without a number opens the SMS scam checker.

  1. In the new shortcut's details, turn on "Show in Share Sheet" and set what happens when there is no input to "Get Clipboard"
  2. Add the "URL Encode" action and set its input to "Shortcut Input"
  3. Add a "Text" action, type https://denwa.click/en/search/?text=, then add "URL Encoded Text" right after it
  4. Add the "Open URLs" action and save
