Truecaller rolls out new features for its users

Truecaller will be rolling out two new features - Number Scanner and Fast Track numbers with its upcoming Android release 8.45 in the coming week.

Number Scanner - Now users will be able to use the Truecaller app to scan a number directly from business cards, websites, street signs, shop fronts or anywhere they need to quickly lookup a number or store it to their contacts. This will enable users to have the proper resources to receive relevant information quickly, digitally and in their surrounding physical environment.

Scan and Pay - Users in India will also be able to scan a number and pay directly using Truecaller Pay – this is a more convenient way of making quick payments as opposed to scanning QR codes.

You can now send or request money, recharge, or even Flash Message any contact from your native phone book.

Truecaller has also launched Fast Track numbers, a service which integrates toll-free numbers for emergency services like police, fire, medical care, women’s helpline, roadside assistance, as well as essential categories like banks, couriers, airlines, railways, and insurance, all integrated directly into the app, accessible by the user without an internet connection.

These also include extremely useful ‘Bank Balance Check’ numbers that enable a user to check their bank balance via a return SMS from their respective bank via a missed call service. Located in the search bar, the in-built contacts will help users make phone calls at critical moments with a single tap.
