Feature description

I'm thinking similar to the internal contacts that can't be read by other apps it might be good to have an internal call history, that rather than depending on the system call history would store calls received/sent from Fossify Phone itself.

Why do you want this feature?

Privacy benefits, but in my case Google seems to have broken call history on my device due to its poor sync implementation and keeps deleting it. I think it would be good if the app could work without relying on the system call history, especially since it can be read/written/deleted by system apps.

Additional information

From my understanding, other apps cannot see received/sent phone calls, only the system dialer/system apps: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/256849/phone-call-logs-in-android

I think it would be nice to have this since only the system dialer (Fossify Phone) has this information.
