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.

Backtapping Brilliance

For users of iPhone 14 Pro onwards, backtapping is a game-changer. To enable this:

  • Navigate to iPhone Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.
  • Choose between "Double Tap" or "Triple Tap" based on your preference.
  • 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.

A Better Call Experience

Integrating Live Caller ID into your daily use is easy. Here's how to make the most of it:

  • Customize your activation method: Choose the trigger that best suits your lifestyle, whether it's a voice command for hands-free operation or a discreet backtap during meetings.
  • Keep your Truecaller database updated: Regular updates ensure you have the latest caller info, making each identification more accurate.
  • Experiment with settings: Tailor the feature to your needs by adjusting how and when you receive caller ID notifications.

      Safely Send Payments to Strangers or Loved Ones with Our New Feature!!

      Priyanka Sharma posted a topic in General Discussions,

      We’ve always stressed the importance of safety with online payments and sharing information to keep you scam-free. Our Caller ID, Spam Blocking, and Comments have already protected many users from scams. Now, we’re adding another layer of security with a new feature to ensure you’re sending money to legitimate people and companies.
       
      #StayCertain, Not Suspicious
       
      Imagine receiving a bill payment message from your electricity company. The number is flagged as spam, but you proceed anyway. A warning appears when you try to pay, indicating the number might be risky based on spam reports and comments. You pause, research the number on the app, and realize you almost sent money to a scammer.

      The “Check Before You Pay Online to Strangers” feature helps you make secure payments by providing real-time risk assessments. It clears your doubts before sending money, using spam reports and comments from other users on the profile. This feature is currently available only on Android.
       
      Steps to Make Every Payment Easy-Breezy and Risk-Free
      Head on over to the app You’ll find the Pay option in the detailed view of the profile You will get to select which app you wish to pay from
       

      You will be warned before making a payment to a number marked as spam, if you still wish to go ahead you click in agreement, and you proceed to pay.
      You can also use this feature for secure transactions and send money to trusted contacts and merchants within the app interface, streamlining your payment experience. Benefits of the “Check Before You Pay Online to Strangers” Feature:
      Be informed: Always stay one step ahead of scammers by checking what other users write about how they operate in the comments, before sending them any money. Making you the MVP of the online world. Say Hello to Safety:  We give you a real-time risk assessment, warning you about the number being high-risk, based on the spam reports the number has received over time. We want to make sure you take every precaution possible to keep your information safe from users. Indian Payment App Integration: We have collaborated and integrated popular payment apps in India to make it easier to send payments directly through the app to your friends and loved ones or when you are out shopping or paying an auto or cab driver.  Note: Truecaller only helps facilitate payments; please use your judgment when making a payment.

      Give this new feature a try we believe it will be a huge help. Please share your thoughts with us! Stay Certain and Safe.

    • Know Who’s Calling Even Before Your Phone Rings With Call Alerts!!

      Know Who’s Calling Even Before Your Phone Rings With Call Alerts!!

      Priyanka Sharma posted a topic in General Discussions,

      Identifying someone you know is about to call. Thanks to Truecaller’s Call Alerts feature, you won’t be the person everyone dreads at the cinema.
       
      How do Call Alerts Work?

      With the Call Alert feature, you can set your phone to silent if you want to ignore a call or move to a quieter place if you need to answer it. This feature uses Data/Wi-Fi to securely send an alert from the caller's phone to yours as soon as the call is made. Available only on Android.
       

       
      Steps to Enable Call Alerts On Android:
      Head over to the Truecaller app Go to Call Settings Under notifications Toggle on Call alert notifications
       
      For IOS:
      Enable push notifications for Truecaller on your iOS device settings to use Call Alert: 
      Go to Settings > Notifications > Truecaller > Toggle on the Sounds and Badges.
       
      Note: Call alerts only work for calls from Android devices with Truecaller installed. Calls from iOS devices won't trigger a Call alert.
       
      Fun Facts About this Feature
      Call alerts work only when a Truecaller user calls you. As Data/Wi-Fi is faster than a regular cellular network, the notification reaches you first, before an actual call comes through. Call alerts would require notification permission to work seamlessly on the app. Download Truecaller: https://tc.onelink.me/571208033/1fqyddvr 
       
      Enjoy every moment with Truecaller and give Call Alerts a try!! We would love to hear from you.
