This App’s Update Lets You Schedule Fake Incoming Calls & More

The latest update to Truecaller introduces new features including Video Caller ID, a new user interface, Call Recording, Ghost Call and Call Announce.

Truecaller is a caller ID and spam call blocking application for iOS and Android.

What’s New?

1. Video Caller ID
   
   This feature allows users to set short videos that plays when they call other people. Users can choose from the built in templates or make their own custom template. Truecaller says it makes the calling experience more personalised and unique.
   
   This feature will be available for all Android users only.
   
   
2. New Interface
   
   The Truecaller team has taken the user feedback over the past year and made a new interface which separates tabs for calls and texts. The new interface lets users get to all the texts, Truecaller Group Chats and private chats within a single tab.
   
   
3. Call Recording
   
   Originally introduced as a Truecaller Premium feature, it is now available for all users of Android 5.1 and newer.
   
   The feature lets users record incoming and outgoing calls and store them locally on the device, which Truecaller cannot access.
   
   The recording can be edited and shared via Bluetooth, email or any other messaging applications. Users can record calls by a single tap after initial the setup process in either Full-Screen or Pop Up Caller ID modes.
   
   
4. Ghost Call
   
   This feature helps users get out of boring meetings or play a prank on friends.
   
   Ghost Call lets users schedule simulated calls using anyone from their contact list. It appears as if a call is coming in from someone at a specific time.
   
   The feature is available for Truecaller Premium and Gold subscribers.
   
   
5. Call Announce
   
   This optional feature lets the app speak the caller ID for incoming phone calls out loud.
   
   The feature works with saved and contacts identified by Truecaller on normal voice calls or Truecaller’s HD voice calls.
   
   This feature is useful for those who are visually impaired or users that does not want to look at their phones while working.
   
   This feature is also available for Premium and Gold subscribers only.

Truecaller Version 12 is available in the Apple App Store, Google Play Store or download the APK directly from the website.
