For iPhone users, Truecaller has introduced a new Live Caller ID function that will make it simpler for consumers to look up caller information. To help you quickly access the information, the platform has essentially integrated Apple’s virtual assistant into the site. There is a catch, though. Only some people can use the functionality.
An iPhone user can voice-activate Truecaller anytime they get an incoming call from an unidentified number by saying, “Hey Siri, Search Truecaller.” The program will then instantly take note of the number, research the caller, and display it above the calling screen. On smartphones running iOS 16 or later and also this new functionality is only accessible to Truecaller premium users. This effectively indicates that in order to use the new function, you must purchase the app’s Premium membership.
It uses App Intents and Siri Shortcuts to give you the desired results. iOS users of Truecaller no longer need to manually search for numbers or copy-paste them into the widget, this upgrade offers a new level of ease. Importantly, Live Caller ID with Siri searches the complete Truecaller database and offers the same level of detail as Truecaller on Android, according to the business.

- You have to first go to the Premium page of the app and choose “Add to Siri”. This will enable you to add the shortcut with just a single click When using this function for the first time, you will be prompted to grant Truecaller access; choose “Always allow” to prevent the pop from being prompted again.
