Truecaller has confirmed that its popular call recording feature will no longer be available for iPhone users, sending social media into a minor frenzy as several iOS customers woke up to notifications about the change. Posts on X (formerly Twitter) throughout the day show screenshots of in-app messages informing users that the feature is being phased out. According to the app's support page, it is discontinuing the Call Recording feature in Truecaller for iOS on September 30, 2025.advertisementThe Truecaller notification states, "We are discontinuing the Call Recording feature on Truecaller for iPhone." The company began pushing notifications to iPhone users earlier today. The popup message advises people who rely on the function to download their recordings, as the feature will no longer work beyond a certain cutoff date.
This move comes at a time when Apple has introduced its call recordings. However, if you have recorded an important call, no need to worry. By September 30, 2025, you can download those recordings on your iPhone.How to save recordings?
For those worried about losing valuable recordings, Truecaller offers two simple ways for iPhone users to save their call recordings before the feature is removed. The first option is to switch your default storage to iCloud so that future recordings are automatically saved online. To do this, open the Truecaller app, go to the Record tab, tap on the Settings icon, and select Storage Preference.Change this setting to iCloud storage. If you don't see the iCloud option, you may need to enable it first by opening your iPhone's settings, tapping your name, selecting iCloud, then Saved to iCloud, and finally turning on Truecaller.The second method is for saving individual recordings manually. Open Truecaller, go to the Record tab, and swipe left on the recording you want to keep. Tap the share or export icon (a square with an upward arrow, or a button labelled 'Export').You can then choose where to save it. You may either use Save to Files to store the audio on your iPhone in a folder like Downloads, or share the file directly to other apps such as Mail, Messages, Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud Drive. This process must be repeated for each recording you wish to keep.- Ends
