This comes after its announcement in April 2018, when it crossed the 100-million daily active user barrier. Back then, around 20% of those users resided in Africa, but Truecaller attributes its recent growth spurt to users in India.

The company added that it now ranks third in the country as the most-used communications app in the country, behind WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger.

The caller ID app has recently added a number of features, including instant messaging of its own, a smart dialer, and a spam filter for SMSes.

The app has also been downloaded more than 500-million times globally, it added.

Truecaller’s also set to add two features to its upcoming build, including a full screen caller ID system, which allows users to see whether an “incoming call is personal, business, or spam”, and call alerts, which sends an alert to users before a call is placed on a network.
