Truecaller has been a popular caller identification app for Android users due to its rich features that help in knowing more details about the caller. However, for iPhone users, the features were fewer which Truecaller added later with one of its biggest updates for users on iOS devices. The update brought a plethora of features such as spam identification, spam filtering, number look-up widget, and detection of SMS messages.
The app still lacked a feature that Android users have the benefit of, Live Caller ID. The Swedish company has now announced this feature for all iPhone users in India. Here’s everything you need about Live Caller ID coming to iPhone.
Live Caller ID is now available for iPhone Users
Truecaller has announced a new feature for iPhone users today in India known as the live caller ID. As the name describes, this feature tells you the identity of the users right at the moment on the calling screen.
Introducing, for the very first time – Live Caller ID on iPhone! 📲
All you have to do is to say "Hey Siri, Search Truecaller".#HeySiriSearchTruecaller pic.twitter.com/clomwxwJxc

On Android phones, it’s a very simple working process – you receive an unknown call from someone and Truecaller will tell you the identity of the caller on the calling screen right at the moment. However, on iPhone, things work differently. Users on iOS devices, when receiving a call from an unknown person, will need to activate Siri to know the caller ID of the person. They will have to say,” Hey Siri, Search Truecaller” and Siri will show you the live caller ID of the user calling. We tested the feature and it worked for us, checkout the screenshot below to know more.
Live Caller ID comes at a cost for iPhone users
For excited iPhone users, we would like to clarify that the Live Caller ID is a premium feature on the Truecaller app and a user will need to buy a premium subscription to use this feature.
Yes, this new feature is exclusively available to Premium subscribers of Truecaller and leverages Siri Shortcuts and App Intents to deliver fast and efficient results within seconds. Hope you'll give it a try! 🥳
