iOS users have just been treated to a new version of the popular Truecaller app, which is now in its 12th iteration and promises to be much smaller in size while enjoying a serious boost in speed and efficiency — even on older devices.

Truecaller uses a bespoke spam caller algorithm that works in the background of iOS, updated by the Truecaller community, to spot any malicious or spam calls before they ruin your day. The app now boasts some of the best and most accurate caller ID and scam blocking smarts in existence, and automatically updates its intel without users needing to put in any manual work.

The app has also had a total design refresh, resulting in much quicker navigation and a more intuitive layout, special caller ID Emojis that easily identify the type of incoming call at a glance, as well as powerful search function.

“We’ve been innovating within Apple’s platform to bring users more powerful features like Call Alerts and a convenient search extension. This update has been a long time coming for many iPhone users, and now we can offer them the best performing identifier of spam and scam to help them separate the noise from the communication they want to respond to,” says Alan Mamedi, Co-founder and CEO of Truecaller.
