Truecaller to Retire iPhone Call Recording on September 30

Truecaller cites high maintenance costs of its iOS merge-call workaround as the driving factor

Overview

  • The call recording feature will be deactivated for iPhone on September 30, 2025, but remains live until then to let users back up recordings
  • iOS users are advised to download, share, or switch storage preferences to iCloud before the cutoff to preserve saved calls
  • Truecaller is reallocating development resources toward enhancing Live Caller ID and automatic spam blocking
  • On iOS the recording function has relied on a three-way merge-call workaround that increased technical complexity and hosting expenses
  • Call recording continues to be supported on Android via Truecaller’s dialer button, with no confirmed changes announced for that platform
