KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 (Bernama) -- Truecaller, the world’s leading global communications platform, has announced the introduction of a major update of its product on iPhone.
The update brings in new, exciting features which will provide an improved and more secure communication experience for iPhone users worldwide. This complete Live Caller ID experience is now on iPhone for the first time.
In a statement, Truecaller co-founder and chief executive officer, Alan Mamedi said: “Live Caller ID on iPhone is the one major aspect that has eluded our iPhone app and we are excited to finally introduce it.
“Ever since we completely revamped the Truecaller experience on iPhone a few months ago, we have been seeing strong growth from multiple countries. And now, Live Caller ID will work to keep our iPhone users safe from the growing menace of spam and scam.”
To set up Truecaller Live Caller ID on iPhone, users need to go to the Premium tab within the app and click on ‘Add to Siri’ to help users add the shortcut with one tap. When using this feature for the first time, users will be asked to allow access for Truecaller; choose ‘Always allow’ to avoid being prompted again.
After setting up the Siri shortcut, simply say ‘Hey Siri, search Truecaller’ and Truecaller will instantly tell the user who is calling, whenever receiving an incoming call from an unknown number.
The app will then do a quick search and present it on the calling screen itself and this new feature is exclusively available to Premium subscribers of Truecaller on iOS 16 and newer.
In addition, users can now read other members' feedback on spammers as well as contribute comments of their own, empowering them to report on their own experience while further enhancing Truecaller’s spam detection capabilities with community input.
Now, incoming messages from short messaging service (SMS) will be automatically categorised into Finance, Orders, Reminders, Coupons, Offers and Junk via revamped SMS filtering.
