How to use Truecaller's AI Call Scanner
To use the AI Call Scanner, you'll first have to make Truecaller your default calling app.
If a call appears suspicious or you're unsure about the caller, you can tap "Start AI Detection" for the tool to start analyzing it.
The call is temporarily put on hold during this time, giving the system time to analyze the voice without breaking the flow of conversation.

The AI Call Scanner delivers instant feedback during the call itself, letting users know if they are talking to a human or an AI.
