Whether you create your block list or let Truecaller's auto-block feature handle it, the app will put a stop to unwanted spam calls. With a simple toggle switch, you can enable call blocking for top spammers or any numbers not in your phonebook. And if you haven't updated your spam list, Truecaller will still identify a spam call with a Red Caller ID, so that you know you don't need to receive the call!

Fraud Detection of SMS

Protect yourself from deceptive SMS messages with the SMS Fraud Detection feature. When a fraudulent message is detected, you'll receive a red notification to warn you and keep you alert.

Access to the SMS is restricted unless you mark the sender as safe, providing an extra layer of fraud protection. Stay safe with Truecaller's fraud detection.

Once an SMS message is received, Message ID rapidly identifies the sender and important information in messages, notifying and displaying the different categories supported by Message ID like OTPs, Transaction details, Billing information, Delivery updates, and Travel itineraries, to you in an appropriate manner.

Call Alert

Truecaller’s call alert feature will let you know who is calling even before your phone rings, so you can set the phone on silent if you want to ignore it or move to a quieter place if you want to talk.
