A new live Caller ID feature for iPhone users has been launched by Truecaller which shall make it easier for the users to search for details of the caller.
Caller Details on Truecaller for iPhone Users
The Apple’s virtual assistant has been integrated into the platform which will allow to quickly find details. However, just like everything else, there is a catch here as the feature is not available to everyone. Here is everything you need to know about the latest update and how one can access it.
Now, whenever an iPhone user receives an incoming call from an unknown number, they will be able to activate Truecaller with their voice by simply saying “Hey Siri, Search Truecaller.”
The number then shall be quickly captured by the app and more information about the caller shall be fetched and displayed on top of the calling screen.
This new feature is however, only exclusively available to premium subscribers of Truecaller on devices with iOS 16 and newer. This basically means you will have to buy the Premium subscription of the app to access the new feature.
In this feature, Siri Shortcuts and App Intents are leveraged to deliver results.
The company said that “This update provides a new level of convenience to those using Truecaller on iPhone, as they no longer have to manually search for numbers or copy-paste into the widget. Importantly, Live Caller ID with Siri searches the entire Truecaller database, thereby providing the same quality of information as Truecaller on Android”.

2. Once Siri shortcut is setup, all you need to do is say ‘Hey Siri, search Truecaller’ and Truecaller will instantly tell you who is calling.
The new update of the app also adds the ability to view and add comments on the numbers that are marked spam and lets you view user feedback on a spammer that others might provide.
