Truecaller has unveiled its most significant update for iPhone users, bringing real-time caller ID and spam blocking to iOS 18.2 and newer versions. This development aligns Truecaller’s iOS experience with its Android counterpart, leveraging Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework.
This breakthrough, powered by homomorphic encryption, allows Truecaller to provide live caller identification while maintaining user privacy. Truecaller CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala remarked, “We are excited to bring the full power of Truecaller to iPhone. This update fulfills our iPhone users’ long-standing request for parity with Android while preserving privacy.”
Key features include automatic spam call blocking, searching through up to 2,000 recent numbers, and the introduction of a Premium Family plan. These features aim to enhance Truecaller’s 15-year legacy of filtering unwanted communication, backed by its robust AI capabilities and extensive global database. In Guwahati, where mobile users frequently face spam calls, the update is expected to bring significant relief. Many Guwahati users have relied on Truecaller for identifying unknown callers, and this update promises improved accuracy and convenience, especially with the new spam auto-blocking feature.The update is available globally starting today for Premium users, with ad-supported features for free users.
