Truecaller is a caller ID and spam-blocking app that’s available on the App Store and Google Play. In addition to identifying who’s calling and blocking unwanted calls and texts, you can also look up phone numbers through the Truecaller app to identify who’s calling and whether or not a text is a spam.


The Truecaller app itself was developed in 2009 in Stockholm. According to the company’s website, it now has 320 million active users, 500 million app installs, and 10 billion spam calls identified and blocked.



Truecaller is free to download, and basic features, including caller ID, spam call blocking, and spam text filtering, are available for free. However, there are paid subscription options that offer additional features.


Truecaller is an ad-supported free app. You can remove ads with a paid membership. Premium subscriptions also include increased spam protection and the ability to see if anyone’s searched the app for your phone number.
