Truecaller, the world’s leading global communications platform, has released the latest version of its iOS app, so users can separate important communications from fraud and unwelcome annoyances. The new app offers 10 times improved spam and business detection compared to the previous version.

Apple users have been looking for a solution that empowers them to make more accurate decisions, so the important calls get picked up. This iOS version has been completely re-written from the ground up to be lighter (smaller app size), more efficient (works faster, even on the older iPhone 6S), and more helpful in identifying relevant callers and text senders.

Truecaller believes in privacy by design so user data is never shared or sold. The platform is trusted and used by over 320 million people globally to identify calls and text messages. Truecaller uses community-based spam reporting for accurate and quick protection from scams, telemarketers, fraud, and more.

Users can install and configure the new app quickly, ready to use in two minutes. This latest version includes an enhanced detail view when you search numbers, a redesigned search extension, and a new premium purchase flow with easier feature comparisons for paid subscribers.

“We’ve been innovating within Apple’s platform to bring users more powerful features like Call Alerts, Call Reason, and a convenient search extension,” said Alan Mamedi, Co-founder and CEO of Truecaller. “This update has been a long time coming for many iOS users, and now we can offer them the best performing identifier of spam and scam to help them separate the noise from the communication they want to respond to.”

More updates will soon be released that build on this game-changing iOS version, including:

• More precise SMS filtering that works completely offline (Truecaller will also soon auto-categorize all finance SMS, promotions, online orders, and travel updates)
• Automatic blocking of top spammers
• Detailed statistics on spam marked numbers
• View comments on spam marked numbers for additional context
• Redesigned widget for even faster number search

To download the latest version, visit Truecaller on the iOS App Store.
