Truecaller also provides typical features of IM that can be used to text friends registered in the app, send media files and even make calls. The app even tells you whether your friends are free at any particular moment so that you don’t call them at inappropriate moments. You can also check data about your contacts with the app’s database. The true caller helps you reduce the number of spam calls that may be annoying.

Call blocking is for all true caller users. All you have to do is install the app. Truecaller divides all your numbers into spammers, hidden numbers, foreign callers, and numbers that are not listed in your phone book.

It then allows you to block any of these categories separately. It is easy to use but you should frequently check the list of blocked numbers to ensure that you don’t miss out on vital calls and texts.

Steps you follow to block a number:

Step one-Open the true caller app and go to contacts.

Step two-You scroll and get the contact you wish to block and go to their profile.

Step three-From the profile view, you select ‘block’.

Step four– A popup box appears and the true caller will ask you whether the contact is personal or business. It will also ask the reason for blocking but you don’t have to provide the reason.
