Speaking on this unique achievement, Alan Mamedi, CEO & Co-founder, Truecaller, said: “Along with this milestone, Truecaller will soon be rolling out two important features that will revolutionize the standard dialer experience ordered by smartphone manufacturers today.

 

“They are: Call Alerts: In an effort to help users depend less on low-speed and faulty networks, which are prevalent in emerging markets, Truecaller sends a Call Alert to users about who’s calling before the phone rings. This is a big upgrade for millions of Android uses.

 

“Others are Full Screen Caller ID: Truecaller will be introducing the most powerful Caller ID and dialer experience on the market. With the new full screen Caller ID, you’ll see instantly whether an incoming call is personal, business, or spam – and on top of this you can do all other key actions like accepting, rejecting or sending a quick message from the same screen.

 

“This gives businesses a better opportunity to take control of their business profile, and in turn users will get more information on who’s trying to get in touch with them.
