Truecaller launches Truecaller for Web on Android, here's how it works

Truecaller Web

Truecaller, the popular app for screening calls, has announced Truecaller for Web. Users can now search for unknown numbers and access their Truecaller SMS inbox on their web browser. Truecaller for Web is available only on Android for now but will work on browsers across PC and Mac. Truecaller for Web will allow users to view, send and receive both SMS and Truecaller Chat.

How does it work?

As per Truecaller, users now do not need to keep switching between their phone and computer. “Once linked, the web interface loads up within seconds and shows your SMS, IM and business messages  (segregated as inbox, promotions and spam messages)  in an easy-to-read interface,” said Truecaller.

The web platform also provides real-time call alert notifications for incoming calls and messages, enabling users to remain connected and informed at all times.

How to enable Truecaller for Web?

To enable Truecaller for Web, Android users can tap on the Messages tab, tap the three dots on the top right of the screen and choose Messaging for Web. Also, users can visit web.truecaller.com, and link their devices by following on-screen instructions.

Speaking on the launch of the web platform, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, chief product officer and managing director India at Truecaller, stated, “Truecaller for Web is a new addition that allows for a seamless way to stay connected across your phone and computer. Our solution integrates well with the lifestyle of modern users, empowering them to effortlessly search for unknown numbers, streamline their workflow and easily switch between devices. Just like on the mobile app, Truecaller does not access or read any messages and the link between the app and desktop client is always encrypted. We want to stay true to our commitment of elevating the communication experience while ensuring accessibility and safety across each interaction.”
