Swedish company Truecaller has announced that its call recording feature will no longer be available on iPhones starting September 30, 2025. The decision was made to focus on the app’s core features — Live Caller ID and automatic spam blocking , TechCrunch reports.
Truecaller launched call recording on iOS in June 2023 for paid subscribers, while also bringing the feature back to Android. The app also added native call transcription support. However, implementing it on iOS proved difficult and expensive: Apple doesn't allow third-party apps to record calls directly, so Truecaller used a special "recording line" that combined calls. This increased costs and made the feature more difficult to use.
The company advises users to download their recordings to the device in advance , share them via email or messengers, or transfer everything to iCloud .
The feature's removal comes as Apple added native call recording in iOS 18.1 . Unlike Truecaller, this feature works without additional lines.
By the way, according to the company's latest financial report, Truecaller has about 3 million subscribers worldwide , 44% of which are iOS subscribers.
