There was a time when we had to attend unnecessary, promotional calls from various people.Then came this revolutionary app which shows you the name of the person calling you even if the his/her name is not stored in your contact list.
Truecaller is developed by True Software Scandivania, a private company in Sweden.Founders, Alan Mamedi and Nami Zarringhalam in 2009.
Firstly it was developed and launched for Symbian based and windows based mobiles and later for Andrid and iOS and Blackberry as well.
Till December 2014 the no. of people using this app has grown to 100 millions .Truecaller is a global telephone directory having caller ID, call blocking functionality. The app is also integrated to to social media which helps the user to get birthday and reminder updates.
Trucaller app uses crowdsourced data i.e data entered by the users.Most of us think that the app uploads and shares contact from phonebook but that no the case it uses the details entered by users.Hence it also works in India and UK where public data is not available or is not allowed.
Truecaller has received funding couple of times from Sequoia Capital an VC.
Get rid of disturbing unwanted and spam calls.!
