Truecaller gets AI backed spam blocking feature. Here’s how it works
Truecaller has launched a new AI powered feature that allows users to get rid of spam calls. The new feature which is part of the ‘Max’ update, blocks all calls that are not from an approved contact or are determined to spam calls by its artificial intelligence algorithm.
According to a report by TechCrunch, under the new feature AI blocks all calls that it determines to spam even if they are not listed on the company’s database. However, earlier the decision to block a particular number was guided by how numbers were listed on their database along with the individual’s proactive screening.
Notably, the new feature is only available to Truecaller premium users on Android, since Apple doesn’t allow Truecaller and other caller ID services to analyze and directly block a spam call. However, Truecaller Vice President of search, Kunal Dua told TechCrunch that the underlying system is expected to improve over time with more spam call data.
“Obviously, we try our best to distinguish between spam and legitimate businesses. But there can be certain cases where some legitimate businesses may temporarily [blocked],” Dua told TechCrunch.
