The Impact of Truecaller Around the World
Very often, we hear of incidents where Truecaller made a significant impact in someone’s life. These range from fighting crime with law enforcement agencies, catching a harasser, preventing financial fraud - and even saving lives.
As a company, we have made safety and efficiency in communication a priority from our very beginning. These stories and events are truly inspiring and make us proud of what we’ve been building since 2009.
Helping solve cases
We believe in trusting your communication, but also discovering more about the people who are in contact with you or loved ones. In times of unfortunate situations, technology has been used around the world to solve problems and criminal cases.
Truecaller was created to identify who was calling, but today it is being used to identify bad actors, but also loved ones.

Women’s Safety and Empowerment
When we lead with our values, we find ourselves doing right by users and our business vision. Truecaller stands against harassment, gender equality, and diversity. Our focus on women’s empowerment and safety has become a main factor in our approach to how we develop our services.
Since 2018, Truecaller has been conducting research into call and SMS harassment to discover more information about a statistic that up until now, has never really been explored. Our goal: To raise awareness about women harassment that occurs through mobile phones, specifically SMS and call related.
We hope in our efforts to bring this issue to light, we can combat it with services and tools to help women around the world have safer communication and trust in those that contact them. Please refer to our 4-time award winning campaign and research below.

The phone is many people’s most cherished possessions. It is an extension of themselves, and a reliable tool used hundreds of times throughout the day. Our comprehensive approach to understanding the impact of communication on people’s lives means looking at all aspects of our business, how they intersect and how we can integrate new solutions to create meaningful and sustained change.
