Truecaller has unveiled a Live Caller ID feature exclusively for iPhone users, enabling them to easily retrieve information about incoming calls.
By integrating Apple’s virtual assistant, the platform has made it easier for users to quickly access this information.
However, it is important to note that not all users will have access to this functionality.
To use the new feature, iPhone users can activate Truecaller by voice command when receiving an incoming call from an unknown number, by saying “Hey Siri, Search Truecaller.”
The program will then quickly record the number, search for the caller, and display the information above the call screen.
However, this feature is only available to Truecaller premium users on iOS 16 or later.
This means that in order to access the feature, users must purchase the app’s Premium membership.
Truecaller for iOS now utilizes App Intents and Siri Shortcuts to provide users with the desired search results.
With this upgrade, iOS users no longer need to manually search for phone numbers or copy-paste them into the widget.
This new feature offers a higher level of convenience.
Additionally, the Live Caller ID with Siri feature searches the entire Truecaller database, providing the same level of detail as the Android version of Truecaller, according to the company.
