Truecaller has announced that it will discontinue the call recording feature on iPhones starting September 30. According to a statement obtained by TechDigest, Truecallers head of iOS, Nakul Kabra, said the decision was made to focus more on other features like Live Caller ID and automatic spam call blocking.
The call recording feature, first introduced in June 2023, was initially exclusive to paying iPhone subscribers before it expanded to Android. However, due to Apples restrictions on native call recording, Truecaller had to use a workaround involving a recording line merged with the calls. Kabra noted that this method increased the complexity of the feature and drove up costs significantly.
Users on X formerly Twitter shared screenshots of a notification from the app stating, We are discontinuing the Call Recording feature on Truecaller for iPhone. The alert also urged users to download their saved recordings, as all files will be permanently deleted after September 30.
