Getting a phone call from an unknown number? How about receiving annoying telemarketer ad calls? Just like in old days, what we need is a Caller ID to help us identify these callers and to possibly get rid of them. The only difference is that we are now using smartphones instead of telephones. We no longer need to apply for a separate service or purchase a separate device. Instead, we just have to download an app straight to our mobile devices. Truecaller is a smartphone application that comes with a great number of security features including caller identification, call blocking, flash messaging, call recording, chat and voice features, and more. This app has everything you need to filter out those annoying telemarketers, robocalls, and other unwanted disturbances.

How Truecaller app works?

The core function of the Truecaller app is very much the same as the classic Caller ID services that we used to have for our telephone devices. Today, smartphone users are using this app to trace out a lot of spam calls that they get every day. Scammers and advertising companies are finding new modern ways to reach our contact information and having the Truecaller app on our device will help us filter them out. Using this app is simple. To get started, simply download the Truecaller app from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Once done, you will be asked to allow the app to access your contacts. After doing so, you will be prompted to the home screen.

There are two navigation panels in this app. The upper panel gives you access to Personal, Important, Others, and Spam. The lower panel, on the other hand, will give you access to Home, Contacts, Premium, Banking, and Payments. You view all your recent calls and messages by tapping the Home tab. From here, you can tap the Personal tab from the upper navigation panel to access calls and messages from the people you know. Tap the Important tab to pay bills directly from transactional SMS, and more. Go to the Others tab to access more contact details from other businesses while those numbers that are new and unregistered will be sent directly to your Spam tab. You can also activate a Full-screen Caller ID by activating the feature from your Settings.
