Truecaller to expand services to WhatsApp and other messaging apps for spam protection

Truecaller, a popular app used to identify and block spam and unknown calls, is set to expand its services to WhatsApp and other messaging apps. The new feature, currently in beta phase, will allow users to spot potential spam calls over the internet.

Truecaller Chief Executive, Alan Mamedi, confirmed to Reuters that the feature will be rolled out globally in May. The app will work in a similar way to its current phone call service, identifying people who are calling you on WhatsApp and other messaging apps.

Truecaller has been a popular app for years, with over 200 million users worldwide. The app works by using a database of known spam and telemarketing numbers, as well as allowing users to report any unwanted calls they receive. With the expansion to messaging apps, Truecaller aims to provide even more protection to users against unwanted calls and messages.

Overall, the expansion of Truecaller's services to messaging apps is an exciting development for users who are tired of receiving unwanted calls and messages. With Truecaller's help, users can feel more secure and in control of their online communication.
