Truecaller Live Caller ID is now available for premium subscribers on iPhones.

[{"selector":"#anim-55a2c645-2dae-4e83-8232-cac4cd4ef408","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":50,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4071131c-ed93-43c1-8411-1d365547eadb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.18987%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36972b54-a94e-47c4-962b-aa864fa0cc19","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5484e981-f8d4-4139-b40a-dd1ac452e558","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The service uses a simple Siri shortcut on the iPhone to tell the user who is calling.

[{"selector":"#anim-48cda6af-8fde-4d59-8e9c-df61a0fde5c3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13971cd7-56dd-4d17-ae30-346b82003818","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 467.59268%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1bb20d95-c29f-4447-bf4d-5955e30508c5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.12751%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ffe1a596-45bf-47be-b7bb-df86bb466da9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3175ba26-9229-4784-ae33-cf7f45123d2a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":1,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

To set up a user needs to go to the Premium tab within the app.

[{"selector":"#anim-59ba4505-7564-45e2-9f90-614c14f8d729 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91528042-d455-48c7-b024-642ce9f8e2b0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Next, you have to click on the 'Add to Siri' option.

Now, Activate Siri with the wake word ‘Hey Siri, search Truecaller’.
