Some update on the Truecaller for iPhone.

Quote:

In a bid to improve the spam filter and other services on the iOS version, the company has released a new update. Once upgraded to the latest version 11.12, Truecaller will offer real-time caller identification and also block spams. Also, the interface gets revamped on iPhones (and iPads).

I know Google is not good guys, but they are lesser evil in my opinion.

I would also strongly recommend using Google Phone App. It looks so damn good with caller identifiction as well as spam reporting/blocking. No upgrades, no intrusive ads. Super clean, minimal look.

Thanks for bringing it up.

It is deeply concerning when the data of 80 crore citizens is up for sale on an independent website, and also on similar sites on IndiaMart. https://www.databaseprovider.in/?gcl...RoC_U4QAvD_BwE

This site also claims to be truecaller verified. It is also the top site when you type Indian mobile number data base. Goes to show how much profit they earn because they can afford these keywords on google. Data privacy has become a joke in our country.

Any of you getting SMS / e-mail from Truecaller to verify payment credentials [those of you on premium subscription]?

This is the SMS.

But why do I need to? I already renewed in August.

One has to verify the card on Google Play as the RBI has issued a circular wherein all standing instructions like auto payments for whatever one has opted for using a credit/debit card will not be done automatically and will be declined from 1st October 2021. It doesn't matter if the renewal was done on 30th September.

Guys, I wanted to upgrade to Premium, but True Caller is not accepting ICICI Bank and SBI debit cards and Google Pay. Is this some issue with my account or is it on their system? Which payment mode are you guys using?
I am surprised that I had my ICICI Bank debit card linked to Playstore which I had used to buy many apps but now it's not accepting. What could be the issue?

Quoting myself.
Found out that there is an option to redeem Google Playstore code. This code can be purchased from Paytm and used for payment for Truecaller subscription. Started with a 6 month one.

I posted this on the Iphone thread as I wasn�t aware about this one. Reposting here since it�s more relevant.

I don't know how anyone lives in India without TrueCaller

. Helps me avoid spam calls & messages on a daily basis. This call, just seen at 8 AM (obviously declined). What's more, with important clients etc., it helps me know who is calling before answering. That's just invaluable information.

My Samsung Android phone has this service called Hiya which also does the job well. Since Hiya does not access the users' contact book, as I believe, it does not have a database of all numbers and hence does not show the name of the spam caller. As per there website, they rely on sophisticated AI/ML stuff to figure out whether it is spam.

As you can see I did pick up this call and it did turn out to be telemarketer.

I don't know what is wrong, but on mine, sometimes it does show up. Simultaneously or a few seconds later (and not before as in Android & if the details are present on Truecaller).

Try getting Gold
