How to Set Up Livecaller on iOS

Ready to get started with Livecaller? This article walks you through downloading the app, setting it up, and enabling the required settings so Livecaller can start identifying calls and blocking spam on your iPhone.

How to Update Your iPhone

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Go to General > Software Update.
3. If iOS 18.3.1 (or later) is available, tap Download and Install.

Downloading and Installing Livecaller

1. Get Livecaller from the App Store: Open the App Store on your iPhone and search for “Livecaller: Live Caller ID.” Tap Get to download and install the app. (Livecaller is a lightweight app, so download should be quick.)
   
   
2. Open the Livecaller app: After installation, tap the Livecaller app icon to launch it. You may be greeted with a welcome screen. Since Livecaller is privacy-focused, you do not need to create an account or sign in – you’re ready to go immediately.
   
   
   
   
3. Grant necessary permissions: To allow Livecaller to identify calls, follow the steps displayed on the screen to enable it in your phone’s settings. Turn on all toggle switches next to Livecaller to allow it to identify and block calls.
   
   

Note: The “Call Blocking & Identification” setting is a crucial step. Without enabling Livecaller here, incoming calls cannot be identified by the app. Make sure the toggle is active.

Verifying the Setup

Once installed and enabled, you can verify Livecaller is working:

• Make a test call: Have a friend who isn’t in your contacts call you from an unknown number, or use a second phone. You should see the caller’s name (or a spam label) appear on the incoming call screen, courtesy of Livecaller’s ID lookup.
  
  
• Check Recents: After receiving a call, check your Recents call log in the Phone app. If Livecaller identified the caller, their name or a spam indication should show up alongside the number.

Everything look good? Great! Livecaller is now up and running, protecting your calls.

Common Questions:

• I don’t see Livecaller under Call Blocking & Identification. What do I do? First, ensure the app is installed. If it is, your iOS might be outdated — Livecaller requires iOS 18+. Update your iPhone to the latest iOS and check again. If it still doesn’t appear, try reinstalling the app or contacting Livecaller support.
  
  
• Do I need to keep the app open for it to work? No, once set up, Livecaller works in the background. You do not have to have the app open when a call comes in. Just make sure the toggle in Settings is on and you have an internet connection.

User Tips:

• Add to Home Screen: Keep Livecaller on your home screen or dock for easy access. While it runs automatically, you might want to open it to search numbers or adjust settings occasionally.
