TRUECALLER

BLOG

Last week, Truecaller went to the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and conducted an interactive workshop called “The Startup Life.” BEST Stockholm, which is made up of international students, joined the fun and learned about Truecaller’s startup experience through founding stories, recruitment processes, production, marketing and fundraising.

Students were also put into groups and played a mini game of building their own startup and working together to create a product: The Egg Helmet! This was a product built to protect a raw egg, which would be dropped from two meters. Each group made their product out of limited materials and tested against each other to win a prize of Truecaller hoodies!

We would like to thank the participating students and BEST Stockholm for an evening of fun, laughter and learning!

In a recent article by The Hindu, Truecaller has been expressed as an app that celebrities can’t do without. Out of the seven celebrities interviewed, three of them mentioned Truecaller.

Trisha
Bollywood Actor
“It is much easier to screen calls and avoid unnecessary numbers, as it shows you who the caller is before you even answer.”

Ravichandran Ashwin
Chennai Super Kings, Cricketer
“Since I get a lot of calls from unknown numbers, it helps me identify the caller and decide whether I need to answer it or not.”

Vishal
Bollywood Actor
A worldwide name and number lookup-service with caller ID, it enables me to match phone numbers to names, addresses, social networks, and even pictures.”

Although this is not the first time Truecaller has seen celebrities endorsing Truecaller via interviews or social media, it is something we feel very honored to hear. We would like to thank all our users, despite some being celebrities or not, for appreciating Truecaller and having it benefit them in their everyday lives!

Why is Truecaller useful for people where you come from? I use Truecaller daily, and on most occasions several times a day. It is useful for syncing contacts too.
How can the world benefit from Truecaller’s global phone directory idea? Truecaller comes in handy when I get calls I’m not sure who it is, or looking up a person’s name to get their address.
Any hidden talents? Drawing!

We have had many of our Android users curious about where to find their Truecaller search history and their call log inside of Truecaller. Here are three easy steps to find your call log and search history!

1. Open up Truecaller to your search screen.
2. Swipe your finger to the left.
3. See your incoming and outgoing calls and also your Truecaller search history.

Note: For iPhone users, you will only be able to access your Truecaller search history because of Apple call system restrictions.
