Truecaller, the Sweden-based caller ID app, has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 500 million monthly active users on its platform. This accomplishment includes more than 150 million users outside India, its largest market with over 350 million monthly users. According to the company, Truecaller gained 50 million users in 2025 alone, doubling its user base over the past five years. Additionally, the app boasts over 4 million paying subscribers, highlighting the growing demand for assistance in managing spam and unwanted communication.
Truecaller’s CEO, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, emphasized the importance of the company’s role in enhancing communication safety, stating, ‘Reaching 500 million users demonstrates the significant need for solutions to combat spam and scams, showcasing the trust users place in Truecaller.’ Looking ahead, Jhunjhunwala outlined Truecaller’s commitment to enhancing user protection through advanced technology and new features, with the goal of reaching 1 billion users in the future.
While traditionally known for caller identification services, Truecaller has been diversifying its offerings. Recently, the company introduced a feature enabling designated family group admins to manage calls on behalf of group members to prevent potential scams. Truecaller has also explored leveraging AI for call screening and responses, aiming to bolster user safety and trust.
Moreover, Truecaller is investigating AI-driven methods to monitor suspicious calls, particularly those linked to scams like impersonating law enforcement agencies for fraudulent purposes. Despite facing challenges in India from the Caller Name Presentation system, Truecaller continues to innovate and evolve its services to address emerging communication threats.
