Truecaller to Disable Call Recording on iPhones: Truecaller has officially announced that its call recording feature for iPhone users will be discontinued after September 30, 2025. The app has begun sending in-app notifications urging affected users to export or back up existing call recordings before that deadline, after which the feature will no longer function.
Truecaller to Disable Call Recording on iPhones
Upon opening the app, iPhone users should see a pop-up notification stating: “We are discontinuing the Call Recording feature on Truecaller for iPhone.” Users who rely on the feature are advised to save any important recordings before this cutoff date, as they will become inaccessible afterward.
Truecaller to Disable Call Recording on iPhones: What You Must Do?
Truecaller provides two main options for backing up call files ahead of the shutdown:
1. Jump over to iCloud: Open up the Truecaller app, hit the Record tab, then cruise over to Settings → Storage preference, and pick iCloud storage. Not seeing the option? Yeah, Apple likes to hide stuff. Go to your iPhone settings, find iCloud Drive, and make sure the Truecaller toggle is flipped on.
2. Exporting One by One: Head to the Record tab, swipe left on the recording you want, hit Share or Export, and pick where you wanna stash it—Save to Files, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Mail, Messages, whatever. Just a heads up: you gotta do this for each recording, so get comfy.

Why Is the iPhone Feature Being Removed?
Apple really doesn’t make it easy for anyone who wants to record calls. They’ve locked down iOS so much especially when it comes to stuff like accessibility tricks or looping in external conference lines that apps like Truecaller have to jump through flaming hoops just to get call recording to work. And even then, it’s basically a hack that could break the next time Apple pushes an update. Meanwhile, Android users are just out here recording calls like it’s no big deal.
How Call Recording Works on iPhone via Truecaller?
Well, you can’t just hit ‘record’ and go. Instead, it’s this weird workaround where you dial into a special service number, then merge that with your actual call kinda like you’re setting up a mini conference call every time you want to save a conversation. Apple’s all about privacy so anything sneaky in the background gets shut down fast. Honestly, that’s probably why they finally just called it quits on this feature for iPhone users.
What Happens If You Don’t Save Your Recordings?
If you do not back up your recordings by September 30, 2025, they will no longer be accessible. After the feature is disabled, users will lose access to previously recorded calls unless they have been exported or stored in iCloud ahead of time. Starting October 1, there will be no way within the app to recover stored voice files.
Feature Status on Android
For users on Android, Truecaller’s call-recording functionality remains intact and unaffected. Android users can continue recording, storing, and backing up calls with the existing app workflow, including options to use Google Drive or device storage. The change applies exclusively to iPhone users.
If you’re an iPhone user relying on Truecaller for call recordings especially for work or personal record-keeping act now. Choose one of the backup options and ensure your calls are saved before the September deadline. Miss it, and you may lose audio logs permanently.
