A built-in competitor to the likes of Truecaller? Maybe not.

      It does not matter.
      In the end mobile numbers are just for communication purpose.
      Why fear about privacy.
      Even your local area's panipooriwala knows about your data, like how many you eat per day etc.
      Don't worry about data privacy.
      Just focus on yourself and learn how can you use those data to grow your kingdom.
      All the best.

                      Music chairs, because it tends to be the same "writers" rotating between the different sites, keeping the ignorance in balance.

                        I don't think the editor here uses Truecaller, it's not a look-up app. It's an automated identification app that lets me know who's calling before pickup without doing anything else. Sadly, it doesn't work in the same manner on iOs, which is one of the main reasons why I'm sticking to Android. I almost ALWAYS know who's calling, and if TrueCaller doesn't identify the number, I simply don't pick up.

                          Anonymous, 06 Apr 2024What's funny with that? I don't think most Indian... moreLong running idea in the west that most scam calls are Indian. And scam calls are the type of calls where you would typically want to look up the number.

                            What will it do when you have classified number ? I can classify my number in contract if i want to and i even had it on like over 20 years ago with my previous number when i didnt have contract.

                              Ouifuf, 06 Apr 2024Ofc it uses an Indian number as the example lmao. What's funny with that? I don't think most Indians would be having international contacts. And if they are showing some random international number just for a demo, it would be stereotyping.

                                Even Google is making stereotypes with this ad. 🤣🤣🤣

                                  How is this new? I've literally been using Google to search any random number that calls me.

                                    If this truly worked for all numbers, we would be back to a feature landline phones had 40 years ago.
