Truecaller, the popular caller ID app, has announced a new feature that will now allow Apple iPhone users to get a Siri alert for unknown calls. The feature is aimed at providing an additional layer of protection against spam and scam calls.
The new feature works by integrating Truecaller with Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant. When an unknown call comes in, Siri will automatically identify the number and check it against Truecaller’s database to see if it is a known spam or scam number. If it is, Siri will alert the user accordingly.
To use the feature, iPhone users need to have the latest version of Truecaller installed on their device and enable the Siri integration in their phone settings. Once enabled, users can simply ask Siri to identify any unknown number that calls them.
In addition to the Siri integration, Truecaller has also rolled out a new call reason feature, which allows users to set a reason for their call before dialing. This feature is particularly useful for business users who want to give their contacts a heads-up on the nature of their call.
With the call reason feature, users can select from a range of pre-set reasons or create their own custom reasons. The reason will then be displayed to the recipient before they answer the call, giving them an idea of what the call is about and allowing them to decide whether or not to take it.
The call reason feature is currently available to both Android and iPhone users and can be accessed by simply tapping on the “Add a reason” button when making a call.
These new features are part of Truecaller’s ongoing efforts to improve its service and provide users with a better and safer experience when using their phones. With spam and scam calls on the rise, it is more important than ever to have tools that can help identify and block these types of calls.
Apple iPhone users can now take advantage of these new features and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that their phone is protected against unwanted calls.
