Truecaller, the leading global communications platform, has announced the biggest-ever update for iPhone. The new update now offers the entire might of Truecaller’s 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.
This 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 state-of-the-art homomorphic encryption, and Truecaller is the first in the world to deploy this at scale for Caller ID.
Truecaller has now been in the business of filtering unwanted communication for 15 years. 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. Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO, Truecaller, said, “We are excited to bring the full power of Truecaller to iPhone.” Free users on iOS will continue to enjoy ad-supported number search and caller ID of verified businesses.
