Truecaller Rolls Out Auto Block Spam Call Feature To iOS 18 Users
The feature automatically declines calls identified as spam, enhancing the call experience by eliminating interruptions from unwanted calls. Notably, this feature is exclusive to Truecaller Premium subscribers.
Truecaller has announced an update for iPhone users that packs an Auto-block spam feature. Earlier, this functionality was only available to Android users.
The feature automatically declines calls identified as spam, enhancing the call experience by eliminating interruptions from unwanted calls. Notably, this feature is exclusive to Truecaller Premium subscribers.
With Version 13.2, Truecaller has made the Auto-block spam feature available on iOS 18-supported devices. iPhone can check for the latest Truecaller app update in the App Store.
How it works
With iOS 18, among other features, Apple has offered a new API that allows apps like Truecallers to collect information from their server and provide live caller ID for incoming calls. Truecaller has integrated the API, which makes this feature a reality in iPhones.
How to enable the feature
To enable the auto-block spam feature on iPhone in Truecaller, open the app and tap on the Protect tab. Then, turn the toggle on for the Auto-block spam option. There will be a popup that the feature might mark spam and block some important calls. Tap on Enable to set the feature rolling.
Further, users can choose if they want to block calls from top spammers or all spammers. If you choose the former, only those calls will be blocked that are from reported spam numbers in Truecaller’s directory.
Truecaller Spam Identification Framework
The Auto-block Spam feature operates by filtering incoming calls through Truecaller’s spam identification framework. Once enabled via the ‘Protect’ option, it ensures that any call recognized as spam is automatically declined, making it easier for users who otherwise have to manually reject these calls.

Furthermore, Truecaller is said to be in the process of developing several other features for iPhone users, implying a broader expansion of its services.
