Truecaller introduces Auto-Block Spam feature to iPhone: Know what it is and how it works
- Auto-Block Spam lets iPhone users automatically block spam calls before they ring, preventing interruption
- Users can choose between blocking top spammers or all spam calls flagged by Truecaller
- The feature is available to Truecaller Premium users with iOS 18
Truecaller has introduced a new feature called Auto-Block Spam, specifically for iPhone users, aimed at improving the way unwanted calls are handled. This feature takes Truecaller’s existing spam-blocking capabilities to a new level by allowing users to automatically block calls from known spammers, fraudsters, or telemarketers without having to manually reject them. The new Auto-Block Spam feature is designed to block these calls before they even ring on your phone, reducing interruptions and making it easier for iPhone users to focus on their day. This upgrade promises a seamless, stress-free experience for those tired of constant spam calls.
What Is Auto-Block Spam?
The Auto-Block Spam feature is an upgrade to Truecaller’s existing capabilities. While Truecaller has always helped identify unknown callers, this new feature takes things a step further by proactively blocking spam calls before they reach you. Users can choose between two levels of protection:
–Block Top Spammers: This setting blocks only the worst offenders, such as repeat scammers or fraudsters.
–Block All Spammers: For users seeking a completely spam-free experience, this option blocks all numbers flagged as spam by Truecaller. However, it’s important to note that legitimate calls could also be blocked.
The blocked calls will not ring, preventing interruptions. Instead, they will appear in the call log as missed calls, clearly labeled as “Scammer” or “Fraud.”
How Does It Work?
Auto-Block Spam is easy to set up for iPhone users who have Truecaller Premium and the latest iOS 18 update. Once updated, users can activate the feature by visiting the “Protect” tab in the Truecaller app and toggling on the Auto-Block option. After that, Truecaller will start blocking spam calls in real-time, ensuring users can go about their day without any disturbances.
Why Is This Useful for iPhone Users?
Spam calls are a common nuisance, and dealing with them can be frustrating. The Auto-Block Spam feature provides iPhone users with a hassle-free solution by automatically handling these interruptions. It saves time and reduces stress, offering a smoother and quieter experience. Furthermore, this is a significant upgrade for iPhone users, as Truecaller is also working on improving its Caller ID functionality on iPhones to offer a more seamless experience.In short, Truecaller’s Auto-Block Spam feature is a convenient tool that enhances phone security and provides peace of mind by stopping spam calls before they even reach your phone.
