Truecaller has finally brought its popular live caller ID feature to iPhones, a functionality that was previously exclusive to Android users. This new capability is made possible by the introduction of Appleās Live Caller ID Lookup framework in iOS 18.2, which allows third-party apps like Truecaller to access real-time call identification and spam detection services.
The integration of this feature enhances the overall user experience by enabling iPhone users to identify incoming calls from verified businesses, block potential spam callers, and report suspicious numbers directly within the app. This means iPhone users can now enjoy the same level of call screening and security that Android users have had for some time.
The rollout of this feature also highlights the collaboration between Truecaller and Airtel, which has implemented network-level spam labeling to further improve the accuracy of call filtering. To ensure user privacy, Truecaller uses advanced homomorphic encryption, a technique that allows the app to perform its call identification functions without compromising sensitive user data.
With this update, iPhone users can now benefit from a more streamlined and secure experience when handling incoming calls, significantly reducing the chances of receiving unwanted spam or fraud-related calls.
