Hi All, Is phone number can be masked? If so, If I click I should get some payment for them to know it. Is it possible to do so? ---

So you want a phone number to be in your database but only paid accounts can see that? ---

I am thinking you can either use the YC en the encode64 that mark made and an ITE column or just an ITE. If user’status is paid \> 12345678 Else \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Would that work for your use case? The \*\*\*\*\* could just “\*” or the encode64 ---

I will explain what I want, The app I’m developing is a matrimonial app. It has photo,name , phone number etc., This is what my scenario, User login by email, User needs to enter photo,name, phone number etc., details, It should display details above in the homepage as a list, If click detail screen should be there But the phone number in the list should mask,if click the user is asked to pay amount,so that the user can see it. Also, I don’t want to enter details of an existing user, After login it should directly go to the home screen displays list. ---

Theoretically I think that number still does load into the device and if the user can access the database in an unethical way then we don’t have a way to “mask” it. ---
