In a bid to take on spam calls, Truecaller has announced a new feature touted as Auto-Block Spam for iPhone users with the iOS 18 update.

Here’s more about the new Auto-Block Spam feature.
How to use Truecaller Auto-Block Spam feature on iPhones
The new Auto-Block Spam feature helps users avoid spam calls by either blocking only the top spammers or blocking all numbers identified as spam by Truecaller. However, it notes that this may include legitimate calls.
Notably, these incoming calls will not ring but will show up as missed calls in your log, labeled “Scammer” or “Fraud” by Truecaller. It is worth noting that the company uses its caller ID database from other users to create a list of top spammers.
However, this newly announced feature will be available for iPhone users with iOS 18 who have subscribed to the Truecaller Premium, which is priced at Rs 99 monthly and Rs 899 yearly for iPhone users in the country.
