Truecaller for iPhone Revamped

iOS addicts have been shouting from the rooftops for a better way to identify unknown callers and catch the spam and scams, and today, Truecaller has built a better mousetrap.

We are proud to announce that our iPhone app has been completely re-written from the ground up to be lighter (smaller app size), more efficient (works faster, even on the vintage iPhone 6S) but most important of all, 10 times better spam, scam and business call identification compared to previous versions of the app.

10x Better Caller ID

We’ve built an all-new architecture from the ground up that can more effectively take advantage of advanced background features in iOS. What is unique to Truecaller is the spam detection algorithm. The app relies on the Truecaller Community to report spam numbers in real-time. With that, we’ve developed and improved the most current, accurate, and complete Caller ID and spam detection for every geography by automatically updating spam information, without you having to lift a finger. This means no need to wait until after the call to look up a number, your Truecaller app will be able to identify while it’s ringing.

The app also has a complete design refresh that results in much quicker sign up, and a more simple navigation through the app.

Caller ID Emojis

• All numbers that have high report of spam activity will be identified with a 🚨warning

• For all calls that are not identified, you can always search for them on Truecaller. Once you’ve searched, future calls from that number will be identified with a 🔎

Search Without Opening the App

Did you know you can search a number without opening Truecaller? The Search Extension may be a staple in how iPhone users use Truecaller, but not everyone may realize its use. If you have a missed call from an unknown number, simply go to your call log, tap the info button, and ‘Share Contact’ to Truecaller. It will identify the name of the caller, and then it will show up in your iPhone Call Log. The best part is if that number calls again, the Truecaller Caller ID will identify it while it rings!
