New Messaging Features for a New Year

Initiate conversations from a group 

In your group message detail view, you can now select people to start a new one-on-one conversation outside the group chat. Nice!

The best part is you can message each other without sharing your number. This makes messaging with new people safer than other secure messaging apps. And of course, you have the option to be never be added to group chats without your consent.

To access this in Truecaller, go to the details view within a group chat. Go down the list of group members and tap on the icon next to the person you would like to have a private message with.

File Sharing (Android and iOS)

Need to send a contract? A college paper? Or other types of files? You can now share common document types in your messaging: .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .doc, .xls, .ppt, .pdf, .txt 

You can also store and recover media and MMS files in Google Drive (Backup functionality applies to Android only). This allows you to backup and restore media files shared via Truecaller Chat (handy for when you change phones or need to reinstall the app).

Pinned threads (Android)

Pin your most important conversations to the top, for quick and easy access. Pinned threads remain at the top of your home tab when you open up your app.
