Truecaller rolls out new features

Truecaller has added three new features for Android users - group voice calling, smart SMS and inbox cleaner.

These new features have been added to the latest version of Truecaller but not applicable for Apple iPhone at the moment, reports Hindustan Times.

Group voice calling: The first new feature introduced by Truecaller is called group voice calling, and it will let Truecaller users on Android add eight participants to a call.

Not only can users add numbers to a call without saving them as contacts, but the app will also identify spam users if they have been added to a group call without their knowledge.

Truecaller will also inform users about the other users’ availability -- in case they are already busy on another call or offline.

Smart SMS: Truecaller says that nearly 80 percent of SMS received by users come from businesses. These can clog up your SMS app and make it look untidy, so the company has introduced a new smart SMS feature, which will also use algorithms to identify spam callers inside your SMS too.

Users in India, Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa will have access to the feature first, while Sweden, Egypt, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the US will receive it in phases.

Truecaller inbox cleaner: It allows users to get rid of all older SMS in your inbox.
Many of the messages in inbox are usually OTPs for transactions which have been completed or simply spam messages from businesses.

The company has introduced the new inbox cleaner to quickly clean up the older SMS from your device, by tapping the Clean Up button to get rid of them immediately.
