Stockholm, Jan 22: Truecaller, the global leader in communication solutions, has unveiled a groundbreaking update for iPhone users, making real-time caller identification and spam blocking capabilities finally available on iOS devices. This update, compatible with iOS 18.2 and newer, marks a significant enhancement that aligns the iPhone experience with its Android counterpart.

Advanced AI technology identifies extensive range of calls
3.

The new features leverage Apple's innovative Live Caller ID Lookup framework, designed specifically for apps like Truecaller.

One of the most eagerly awaited features is the automatic blocking of spam calls, a request from iOS users that has finally been fulfilled. Additionally, users can now search for previously identified calls in their Recents list, with access to data going back as far as 2,000 numbers.
Truecaller has also introduced a Premium Family plan, allowing users to share all Premium benefits with up to four additional family members at an affordable monthly or annual rate.

Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO of Truecaller, expressed enthusiasm about this update: "We are excited to bring the full power of Truecaller to iPhone. We see tremendous potential and growth in our iPhone user base, and parity with Truecaller's Android experience has been top of their wishlist.
