Communications and Caller ID platform Truecaller is going to roll out several new features for the Android users in the coming weeks. The new features include a Voice Call Launcher for VoIP calling, a Passcode Lock for the SMS inbox, enhanced Call Logs, simplified and instant Call Reason, face filters for Video Caller ID and an AI Smart Assistant.
Here’s a look at the upcoming features of Truecaller in some detail.
Voice Call Launcher – Through Voice Call Launcher, you can find all your contacts who are available to talk on Truecaller Voice. With just one tap, you can connect with your loved ones and enjoy free, high definition, VoIP-based calling, says the company,
Passcode lock for SMS – Truecaller users on Android will soon be able to use a passcode lock to add an additional layer of security to this personal data. If your device supports biometric or fingerprint authentication, you will be able to use that too.
Enhanced Call Logs –Truecaller has optimised the call logs that enable and supports up to 6400 entries as compared to 1000 entries in the last version
Improved Call Reason – Now, it is possible to add a Call Reason during the call itself. If your call is not accepted by someone and still the phone is ringing, Truecaller lets you add an Instant Call Reason. Some of the predefined call reasons are “It’s important”, and “Can we talk?”. Additionally, one can also type out any customised call reason of their choice.
Face Filters for Video Caller ID – Truecaller has added built-in templates, aiming to create a more personalised and unique calling experience. For example, there are the selfie and the VR-powered filters.
Commenting on the upcoming developments, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Chief Product Officer and Managing Director, Truecaller India, said: “The constant feedback we receive from our users has always helped us innovate and serve better. With a host of upcoming additions, we promise exciting times ahead for our Android users globally. These features will not only offer an efficient and safe communication experience but will also give users more power and the ability to exercise greater control over their communication and important data.”
