# How to Set Phone by Cubilock as Your Default Dialer App
### Overview
By default, Android uses the system Phone app to handle all incoming and outgoing calls. If you prefer to use Phone by Cubilock, you'll need to set it as your default dialer. This ensures that all phone calls route through Phone by Cubilock instead.
### Requirements
* Phone by Cubilock app installed
* Access to your device settings
* *Settings app should be enabled in the policy*
### Method 1: Through Android Settings
This is the most reliable way to change your default dialer app.
#### Steps
1. Open the **Settings** app on your Android phone
2. Navigate to **Apps** or **Application Manager**
3. Look for **Default apps** or **Default applications**
* On some devices, this may be nested under **Advanced** settings
4. Tap on **Phone app**, **Calling app**, or **Dialer**
5. A dialog will appear showing all available dialer applications
6. Select **Phone by Cubilock** from the list
7. The system will confirm your selection—your default dialer is now set
**Tip:** If you don't see a "Default apps" option, your device may call it something different like "Calling accounts" or "Call settings." Try searching in Settings for "default" to find the right menu.
### Method 2: Through the Phone by Cubilock App
Some apps provide a built-in option to set themselves as the default dialer.
#### Steps
1. Open the **Phone by Cubilock** app on your device
2. Tap the option and confirm when prompted
**Note:** Not all Android devices or versions may show this option within the app itself. If you don't see it, use Method 1 instead.
### Verification
To confirm that Phone by Cubilock is now your default dialer:
1. Go back to **Settings** > **Apps** > **Default apps**
2. Check that **Phone by Cubilock** is listed as your default dialer app
### Switching Back to the Standard Phone App
If you want to revert to the default Phone app at any time:
1. Open **Settings** > **Apps** > **Default apps**
2. Tap **Phone app** or **Dialer**
3. Select **Phone** (or your device's default dialer name)
### Troubleshooting
**Phone by Cubilock doesn't appear as an option:**
* Ensure the app is fully installed from the Google Play Store
* Restart your device
* Check that you have the latest version of Phone by Cubilock installed
**Default setting reverts after restart:**
* Some custom Android ROMs or device manufacturers may override default app settings
* Try setting Phone by Cubilock as the default again through Method 1
