The well-known spam call detection and blocking app Truecaller is now expanding its API support for iPhone, allowing for automatic blocking and real-time caller identification. While users may now sign up for a Premium Family plan from the app, the Live Caller ID functionality requires iOS 18.2 and a premium subscription.
In order to enable the device to use its artificial intelligence capabilities for call identification, Truecaller has updated its iPhone app to include Apple’s Live Caller ID Lookup framework. This allows third-party apps to assess incoming calls against the server for known spam numbers. After the release of the iOS 18 upgrade and the live caller ID API, co-founder Alan Mamedi announced on X that the app is now compatible with iPhones. Since September, the business has been hinting at the release of full iOS compatibility.

Mamedi’s post reads, “From the iOS 18 feature release documentation 🙂 Soon we will hopefully hear people say “Truecaller finally works on iPhone”. Even though it has worked fairly OK in the last 2 years, this time it will be just like you would expect Truecaller to work, end to end.”
On iPhones running iOS 18.2, Truecaller Premium members may now reject spam calls automatically worldwide, and live caller ID capabilities are being rolled out. Free users can still use the Verified Businesses caller ID feature and ad-supported manual number search.
According to the company, the API hides IP addresses, permits anonymous authentication, and blocks spam calls automatically on iPhones using homomorphic encryption to safeguard user privacy.

Furthermore, at a fairly low annual or monthly cost, Truecaller has launched the Premium Family plan, which enables customers to share features like Truecaller AI Assistant with up to four additional users. For Indian consumers, the membership also provides fraud insurance.
