Truecaller moves to curb harassment, fraudulent calls

Truecaller has introduced a new Premium feature, Call Recording, to help report harassment and fraud for its users. This comes as another great upgrade in their efforts to improve their Premium offerings.

People use Truecaller to help their communication be more safe and efficient. From their users identifying new business clients, to empowering women to avoid and report harassment, or for everyone being protected from potential fraud. Truecaller has been there to safeguard calls and SMS and give you the right to know who is trying to get in contact. With the added feature of Call Recording, this will empower their users to keep track of important conversations they have with businesses, colleagues, and people.

Call Recording has been a highly-requested feature from Truecaller users for some time, therefore, the team decided to develop and combine it into their Premium package along with Who Viewed Your Profile.

When a Premium user dials or receives a call, they can toggle on the recording feature from the Truecaller Caller ID screen. The recordings are then stored on the user’s phone.

All users who do not have a Premium subscription can try Call Recording for free on a 14-day trial.

Truecaller cautions that call recordings are stored locally on the user’s phone, and does not touch Truecaller’s servers. The user who records calls is responsible for following local laws around two-way consent.
