Truecaller: Spam Call Blocker for Android

Truecaller: Spam Call Blocker helps Android users identify incoming callers, screen unwanted calls and manage spam messages. It can be useful if you often receive calls from numbers that are not saved in your contacts, or want call and text filtering in one app.

Caller ID, spam filtering and number lookup

The app can show caller information for unsaved numbers and distinguish businesses from numbers identified as spam. Its blocking tools cover categories such as telemarketing calls, robocalls and suspected scams. You can also look up a number to find available name information and adjust filtering by options such as country, number sequence or unknown callers.

For everyday use, this can help you screen an unfamiliar call before answering and reduce unwanted calls. Truecaller also offers an AI Call Scanner that analyses a voice sample to indicate whether a voice appears human or AI-generated. Treat these tools as aids for screening, not as a guarantee that a call is safe.

Calls, messages and additional tools

• Call management: Use caller identification and blocking, and back up or restore call history, contacts and the block list through Google Drive.
• Call recording: The app lists recording for incoming and outgoing calls, along with AI-generated subjects, summaries and transcripts. Call recording is also included among Truecaller Premium features.
• Messaging: Truecaller can be used as your main texting app to send, receive and schedule messages. Its inbox separates messages into Personal, Important, Other and Spam, with filtering for unwanted texts.
• Family tools: Truecaller Family features include scam-call alerts, shared spam-blocking controls and activity or low-battery notifications for family members.

Other listed features include Truecaller Assistant for screening calls, Voice calls over VoIP, video caller ID and Premium options such as ad-free use, Incognito Mode and call announcements. Some tools are part of Truecaller Premium rather than the basic feature set, so check their availability in the app before relying on them.

Is Truecaller right for you?

Consider Truecaller if you want caller identification and spam controls, or prefer to manage call filtering and SMS in one place. If you only need basic calling and texting, its additional lookup, recording and family features may be more than you need. The app is free to install, with a separate Premium offering.
