In a world of iPhone features, Live Caller ID stands out as a straightforward solution for those swamped with calls, offering a smart way to identify who's calling before you even pick up. Let's break down how to use this feature to the fullest, ensuring you always take the right call.

Why Live Caller ID?

Live Caller ID isn't just about knowing who's calling. It's about making smart decisions quickly, minimizing interruptions, and improving your overall phone experience. Whether it's dodging spam or preparing for an important conversation, Live Caller ID puts the power back in your hands.

 

Preparing your iPhone for Live Caller ID

Before diving into the setup, ensure you have:

  • An active Premium subscription with Truecaller.
  • The iPhone Shortcuts app.
  • Tap on 'Add to Siri' from the Truecaller Premium tab.

With these in place, you're ready to unlock the potential of Live Caller ID.

How to Activate Live Caller ID

At its core, Live Caller ID can be activated in a few simple ways:

  • Action Button: Exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max users, pressing the Action button achieves the same result.
  • Backtapping: A simple double or triple tap on the back of your iPhone triggers the caller ID search.
  • Voice Activation: A quick "Hey Siri, Search Truecaller" prompts Siri to fetch the caller ID for you.

 

The Action Button Advantage

 

If you're sporting an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, the Action button offers an immediate route to activating Live Caller ID. This physical button - together with your Premium subscription and the Shortcuts app, streamlines caller identification to a mere press.

  • Locate and select "Search Truecaller" from the actions list.

This setup turns your iPhone into an even smarter device, allowing you to identify incoming calls with a simple gesture.
