Truecaller is now rolling out support for real-time caller ID and spam blocking on iPhone. The new update from Truecaller delivers spam and scam blocking abilities to iPhone users everywhere. It now has the ability to identify all types of calls making it at par with its Android counterpart.
Support for real-time caller ID and spam blocking on iPhone is made possible by Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework, developed especially for apps like Truecaller to provide live caller ID in a privacy-preserving way. This API uses homomorphic Encryption and Truecaller is the first in the world to deploy this at scale for Caller ID, says the company.
Further, this update can leverage Truecaller’s latest AI capabilities and global database to identify as many calls as possible. It can ensure that no call goes unidentified on iOS as long as Truecaller has any information about it.
In addition, the latest update includes something that Truecaller iOS users have been requesting for a long time: automatic blocking of spam calls. Other improvements include the ability to search for previously identified calls, going as far back as 2,000 previous numbers in the Recents list in the Phone app.
