How to change calling screen Android

If you want to change the calling screen on the Truphone app—whether for customization, usability, or aesthetic reasons—it’s important to note that Truphone, as of the latest versions, does not provide built-in options to significantly customize the calling screen like some other apps (e.g., Truecaller or some Android dialers). However, you can influence the appearance and behavior of the calling screen by modifying system settings, using third-party tools, or adapting the workflow. Here’s a detailed, approximately 650-word explanation on how to approach this.

How to Change the Calling Screen in the Truphone App

The Truphone app is a global mobile network service that offers data plans, international calling, and eSIM support. While it’s highly functional for business users and international travelers, it does not offer native settings to change the calling screen interface extensively. However, you can consider the following strategies depending on your goal—whether for customization, functionality, or integration with other features.

1. Understanding the Default Calling Screen

The Truphone app integrates with your device’s default phone UI rather than replacing it with a proprietary calling interface. When you make or receive a call using Truphone, the device’s native phone interface (iOS or Android) handles the visual experience.

This means that if you want to change the appearance of the calling screen, you’re mostly working within the limitations of the operating system, not the Truphone app itself.

2. Adjust Settings Within the App (Where Possible)

Though customization is limited, check for updates in the Truphone app:

  • Open the Truphone app.
  • Go to Settings (usually found under your profile or the gear icon).
  • Look for any options related to call behavior, such as default call method, call forwarding, or eSIM profiles.

Some versions may allow you to configure preferences for outgoing calls (e.g., which number or profile to use) but do not change the UI itself.

3. Customize Your Device’s Native Calling UI

Since Truphone relies on your phone’s default calling interface, consider customizing your device’s call settings:

For Android Users:

  • Some Android devices allow limited customization of the call screen under Settings > Display > Incoming call settings.
  • Certain brands like Samsung or OnePlus include themes or options to change how calls appear.
  • You can install third-party dialer apps like Drupe, True Phone Dialer, or Simple Dialer that offer full-screen customization for incoming and outgoing calls. Note: This does not guarantee Truphone will route calls through these apps, but it may alter your visual call experience.

For iOS Users:

  • iOS is more restrictive. You cannot change the native call screen without jailbreaking the device (not recommended due to security risks).
  • You can use accessibility features or adjust notifications to personalize how call alerts appear, but not the full calling interface.

4. Use Widgets and Shortcuts for Truphone Profiles

While not a direct change to the call screen, you can streamline call behavior by:

  • Setting shortcuts to specific eSIM profiles or contacts that use Truphone.
  • Using automation apps (like Tasker on Android or Shortcuts on iOS) to route calls through a specific Truphone line.

This doesn’t change how the call screen looks but can change how calls are initiated or received through Truphone, giving a sense of customization.

5. Third-Party Call Management Tools

If you’re seeking functionality such as:

  • Caller ID themes,
  • Gesture-based call controls,
  • Full-screen photo caller ID, consider third-party apps. However, confirm compatibility with Truphone:
  • Eyecon – Offers full-screen caller photos and social media integration.
  • Truecaller – Adds caller ID, spam protection, and customizable UI.

These apps may work in tandem with Truphone, but integration may vary depending on device and OS.

6. Professional or Business Use? Consider Unified Communications

If you’re using Truphone for business, you might want a more professional calling interface. Consider:

  • Integrating with apps like Microsoft Teams, Zoom Phone, or RingCentral (some of which support Truphone eSIMs).
  • Using VoIP services in tandem with Truphone’s data plans.

These apps offer custom calling screens and advanced features beyond the default Truphone app.
