Truecaller hits 100mn daily active users globally

Popular communication app Truecaller on Thursday announced that in less than a year, the app has leapfrogged from 100 million monthly active users to 100 million daily active users globally. "We could never have predicted that Truecaller would become a resource for women's safety in many countries; or that it would be used for e-commerce and courier services around the globe to facilitate the difficult last mile of delivery, or allow more people to experience a data-only product in offline mode," Mamedi added. In January, the Stockholm-headquartered Truecaller launched "Truecaller Backup" feature for Android devices which allows users to backup and restore their contacts, call history, block list and settings to Google Drive. With this subscription-based service, all feature phone users with Airtel mobile service can use "Airtel Truecaller ID" to see who's calling.
