New Delhi, August 4: Truecaller is reportedly planning to drop its call recording feature for iPhone users in September. The development is said to come more than two years after the feature first rolled out for iOS users. The company, which is known for helping users to identify and block spam calls, is said to be shifting its focus back to improving its core services.

Truecaller call recording feature works on Android devices, but it is more difficult on iPhones since Apple’s system does not allow third-party apps to capture calls directly.

The decision is said to be part of the company’s move to shift focus back to its main goal, which is stopping spam calls. As per a report of TechCrunch, Nakul Kabra, who leads Truecaller’s iOS team, shared that the change was made so the company could concentrate more on tools like Live Caller ID and automatic spam detection, which are core parts of the app’s experience.

Why Is Truecaller Discontinuing Its Call Recording Feature on the iOS Platform?

Truecaller introduced its call recording feature for paid iOS users in June 2023, along with native call transcription support. The service relied on a recording line that merged calls to enable recording, a process that added operational cost and complexity. These technical and financial hurdles are said to have played a key role in the company’s decision to discontinue the feature.
