Truecaller’s caller ID service, highly regarded for its efficacy in identifying incoming calls, was not available on WhatsApp until now. With a user base of over 500 million monthly active users in India alone, scammers have found it alarmingly easy to target individuals on the platform and carry out their illicit activities.
Acknowledging the pressing need to address this growing threat, Truecaller has partnered with Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, to extend its services to the popular messaging app. This strategic collaboration aims to empower users to recognize and block spam messages, bolstering their defense against WhatsApp scams.
According to media reports, Truecaller’s CEO, Alain Mamedi, has confirmed that the feature is currently undergoing beta testing and is slated for a global release later this month. This development is expected to be a significant breakthrough in the battle against WhatsApp scams, as users will be able to leverage Truecaller’s expertise in identifying and avoiding potential spam calls.
