iPhone Users to Lose Truecaller Call Recording Functionality

Truecaller has confirmed that its popular call recording feature will cease to function on iPhones, with the change taking effect on September 30. The decision, which is not being implemented by choice, is a direct result of updated platform policies from Apple that restrict third-party applications from accessing the necessary APIs for call recording. This move marks a significant shift for a feature that has been a staple for many users who rely on it for everything from business-related discussions to personal record-keeping. The upcoming removal highlights the continuous friction between app developers and platform operators, as Apple maintains strict control over its operating system to protect user privacy and data security. While Android users of the app will remain unaffected by this policy shift, iPhone users will lose a key function, forcing many to find alternative, and often more cumbersome, methods for call documentation. Despite this change, Truecaller’s core functionality, including its industry-leading caller ID and robust spam-blocking capabilities, will continue to work normally on all iOS devices, ensuring the app’s primary purpose is not disrupted.
