Truecaller renowned caller ID and spam-blocking software, has added a new function called AI spam blocking. The feature is self-explanatory. It aims to combat spam calls. The new ‘Max’ protection layer, available only in the Truecaller Android app, instantly prevents all spam calls. However, this premium function is only available to the app’s paying members. This is all you need to know.
Truecaller customers can turn on the AI spam-blocking function by navigating to Settings > Block within the app. Previously, consumers who paid could choose between two settings: Off and Basic, which allowed them to detect spam callers without blocking them or automatically block calls identified as spam by several users. With the launch of the Max tier, customers may now apply strict spam-blocking methods.
When you pick the Max option, Truecaller will proactively reject calls from all known spammers, using powerful AI algorithms intended to detect and reduce spam volumes.
Truecaller’s Vice President of Search, Kunal Dua, told Tech Crunch that the business thoroughly tested multiple algorithms across diverse regions to verify the success of the spam prevention tool.
While the Max spam filtering tool protects against unwanted calls, the business warns customers that real calls may be mistakenly stopped. Truecaller, on the other hand, guarantees customers that such instances will be mitigated by continuing developments and modifications based on user feedback.
It’s worth noting that the AI-powered Max spam filtering function is only available on Truecaller’s Android app, as iOS limits prevent caller ID applications from automatically banning spam numbers. To use this feature, customers must subscribe to Truecaller’s Premium plan, which starts at Rs 75 per month and Rs 529 yearly in India.
The new functionality comes only a few weeks after the business introduced AI-Powered Call Recording for consumers in India. It is available for iOS and Android devices. The functionality allows users to record incoming and outgoing calls immediately within the Truecaller app, making it a handy and effective method to record and manage important conversations.
