The feature is free and was initially launched in December in select countries before expanding worldwide, including India. Admins can also block numbers, share blocklists, and on Android, monitor contextual activity like walking or driving to know when to reach out. Truecaller is also exploring AI-powered call screening that auto-disconnects calls containing scam-associated keywords. The announcement comes as Truecaller faces business headwinds, including an 80% stock decline, falling ad revenue, and competition from India's government-backed CNAP caller ID system. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
