[Kishan Nagaraj Haritsa]

Hello TrueTalks community!

Let's break down a few Truecaller-related myths together!

 

1. Truecaller provides loans through the app
We do not provide any loan services. In the past, Truecaller collaborated with several money lending organizations, enabling users to access loans directly through the Truecaller app. However, this service was discontinued some time ago. Currently, we do not offer any loan services through our platform. If you happen to hear about Truecaller offering loans, it might be a good idea to verify. You could kindly inquire on the community forum for confirmation. However, at the moment, Truecaller isn't involved in providing loans.

 

2. Spam calls increased after installing Truecaller

It's a common misconception that installing Truecaller leads to an increase in spam calls. However, the reality is quite the opposite. Truecaller is designed to help users combat spam calls by identifying and blocking them. Here's how Truecaller actually works to reduce spam calls and improve the calling experience for users:

• Caller Identification: Truecaller uses a vast database of numbers reported as spam by its users to identify potential spam calls. When a call comes in, Truecaller checks the number against its database and displays a warning if it's flagged as spam.
• Community Reporting: Truecaller relies on its community of users to report spam calls. When a user receives a spam call, they can easily report it to Truecaller, contributing to the database and helping other users avoid similar calls in the future.
• Call Blocking: Truecaller allows users to block unwanted calls with just a tap. Once a number is identified as spam, users can block it to prevent future calls from that number.
• Spam Detection Algorithms: Truecaller continuously improves its spam detection algorithms to stay ahead of spammers' tactics. This ongoing development helps ensure that Truecaller remains effective in identifying and blocking spam calls
