The app update will enable [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanmyphone) users to enjoy a stronger level of certainty when it comes to receiving [spam calls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scamminder) by increasing the accuracy by which it can recognize them. This is made possible through a new server architecture and a separate, encrypted database especially for iOS, which will enable the iPhone Phone app to make encrypted requests that are then decrypted in real-time to offer caller ID. The updated Truecaller app for the iPhone can be used for free with ads, but is also available under the premium tier starting at $9.99 a month.
