This July, Truecaller turns 16! We’re celebrating how a simple idea, born from a common frustration, grew into a global community—all thanks to you.Our story began in 2009 when our founders, Alan Mamedi and Nami Zarringhalam, were students in Stockholm tired of annoying, unknown calls. They faced a familiar dilemma: was that unfamiliar international number an important call from family, or a stranger? The need to answer one simple question—'Who's calling?'—is why Truecaller was built.To solve this, they created the first version of the app. From its humble beginnings on early phones like Symbian, the response was incredible. After being shared on an online forum, it was downloaded over 100,000 times in just one week! This proved it was a universal challenge that needed a solution, and our journey to the modern app stores began.Today, that initial spark has become a powerful, collective shield fueled by your contributions. So, this July, as we celebrate 16 incredible years, we're really celebrating YOU. Your vigilance, your trust, and your commitment have made Truecaller what it is.Here's to many more years of smarter, safer calls.Happy Birthday, Truecaller family! 🎉
