Truecaller has partnered with Microsoft to allow users to create AI assistants that use their own voice through Azure AI Speech. This feature requires users to record a consent sentence and a training script to capture their speaking style. The AI assistant can then screen calls and introduce itself as a digital version of the user.
Truecaller, in partnership with Microsoft's Azure AI Speech, will allow users to create an AI version of their voice to answer calls. This feature, part of Truecaller's AI Assistant, aims to add personalization and comfort by using the user's recorded voice. The AI Assistant, which screens calls and provides reasons for them, was first introduced in 2022 and is available in select countries. Microsoft ensures ethical use by adding watermarks to AI-generated voices and requiring consent for recordings.

Google's Phone app beta version 127.0.620688474 includes a new "Lookup" feature for unknown numbers in the call log, allowing users to perform a Google search for the number in question. While this may help identify businesses, it won't be able to identify private individuals, so apps like Truecaller won't be replaced. The feature has been live in Japan since March and may roll out globally in June.
Truecaller has reintroduced call recording for premium users on both iOS and Android. The company is getting around restrictions on both operating systems by calling a dedicated recording line. The recordings and transcripts will be stored on the device, and Truecaller won't store any data in the cloud.

The company has more than 350 million users globally, with India being its biggest market with 100 million users.
Truecaller is set to launch a caller identification service over WhatsApp and other messaging apps to help users identify potential spam calls over the internet. The feature, currently in beta phase, will be rolled out globally later in May. India, where users receive an average of 17 spam calls per month, is Truecaller's biggest market with 250 million users. The company is in discussions with telecom operators to implement a solution to block telemarketing calls over their networks using artificial intelligence filters.
Truecaller is introducing a new update that will provide live caller ID support on iOS, but only for users on its paid tiers. Unlike the seamless experience available on Android, the iPhone experience will involve a step that requires interacting with Siri. To use the new feature, Truecaller subscribers on an iPhone running on iOS 16 or above will be able to access live caller ID support by saying, “Hey Siri, Search Truecaller.” The feature leverages Apple’s Siri Shortcuts and App Intents to offer the anticipated live caller ID experience.
