Truecaller launches vastly improved iPhone App

Truecaller, one the world’s leading global communications platforms, has launched a brand-new version of their iPhone app for users around the world. The iOS app has been completely re-written from the ground up to be lighter, more efficient, and most important of all, it offers significantly better number identification, spam, scam and business call identification compared to previous versions of the app. The new app offers up to 10 times better spam and business identification compared to the previous version

This change has been brought about by an all-new architecture that leverages Truecaller’s state-of-the-art spam detection algorithms and takes full advantage of Apple’s technology to deliver the optimal caller ID solution. The app seamlessly integrates with Apple’s default phone app to show results from Truecaller right in the call log. Truecaller has developed the most current, accurate, and complete first ring Caller ID and spam detection for every geography and we ensure this by automatically updating spam information in the background. It also includes a huge design refresh and new user experience flow that results in far shorter times for initial onboarding and quicker day-to-day navigation through the app.
