Truecaller Reached To 100 Million Daily Active Users

Caller ID app Truecaller recently said that now it has more than 100 million daily active users.

'There are only a handful of mobile-only services that impact as many users each and every day and we are humbled to be able to join this exclusive group,' Alan Mamedi, the CEO and Co-founder of Truecaller said in a blog post.

With technology evolving, Truecaller has also come a massively long way since the day we founded the company. From simple beginnings as a Caller ID and spam blocking an app to a full-fledged communications platform with calls, SMS, Flash Messages and payment services, the app said.

Mamedi said that 'We could never have predicted that Truecaller would become a resource for women's safety in many countries, or that it would be used for e-commerce and courier services around the globe to facilitate the difficult last mile of delivery or allow more people to experience a data-only product in offline mode. Truecaller is more than just an app on your phone, it has aided in bridging the digital divide between the urban and growing semi-urban/rural markets in India, and has even enabled more African businesses to accept online payment.'

According to caller ID app, people mostly using Nokia and BlackBerry phones years ago, to a wide array of Androids and Apples, technology is constantly evolving around us and the world of communication has come a long way. The cost of both mobile phones and data continues to plunge, which allows more and more people to come online with just their phone.

The company also claims that in emerging markets, they are seeing the importance of smartphones in peoples' daily lives. It's their primary gateway to the internet, their connection with family and friends, people abroad, and increasingly their main banking and finance tool. Smartphones and Truecaller have become indispensable in the lives of our 100 million daily users.

Truecaller helps to filter out unwanted calls and SMS, and focus on what really matters. The company also provides unique services such as a dialer that offers caller ID, spam detection, messaging and more.
