The new caller ID feature will be offered only to users who are on the app’s premium tiers (priced at a range of tiers ranging from $0.99 per month per individual, through to $4.99/month when a user’s carrier is not supported and $9.99/month for family plans, with discounts on annual subscriptions).Īnd it won’t be just like it is on Android: Unlike the seamless experience available on that platform - users see a caller ID instantly when they receive an incoming call - the iPhone experience will involve a step that requires interacting with Siri. Last year, an investigation by Indian magazine The Caravan claimed that Truecaller was “comprised of details which have been collected without consent.” However, the company denied the allegations and asserted that the investigation was flawed and based on inaccurate information.

Yet the company has faced criticism over how it collects data for its caller ID service.

The app has been one of the more popular ones among mobile users in markets like India where spammers target the masses. The new feature comes as Truecaller continues to see a lot of growth, but also some knocks in its strongest markets. Now, in an effort to expand its reach, the Stockholm-based company is introducing an update that will finally provide live caller ID support on iOS, available to people using its paid tiers.

Its active user base these days numbers 338 million, but it could be bigger: A lack of a caller ID feature on iOS has arguably held back its growth among iPhone users. Truecaller has been a known name in the app market globally - thanks to its eponymous caller-identification service.
