To bring about a change in the way the messaging/ chat feature is used, Truecaller has introduced new updates on the app to level-up the messaging game. The new features include urgent messages, sharing of smart cards, revamped smart SMS, the ability to edit sent chat messages and setting default view.
Commenting on the new additions, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Chief Product Officer and Truecaller India MD said, “We continue to remain focused on the evolving needs of our users and meet those needs with futuristic solutions. These features get us closer to our mission: to make communication safer and more efficient for everyone. Truecaller has evolved into a powerful communication hub and for the people who wish to use the app to its fullest these features will add immense value. The features are fun and easy-to-use and can solve many problems we face in our day-to-day messaging.”
The urgent message feature allows a user to get the receiver’s attention for critical or time sensitive messages with a custom notification. The urgent message will pop up on the recipient’s screen with high visibility, even if another app is open, and will not disappear until the recipient reads it.
Truecaller users will now be able to choose the default appearance of the app when it is first launched. The update to allow editing sent chats will enable the user to edit/ make changes to the chat message even after the receiver has viewed it. Further, the Truecaller Smart SMS experience has been revamped and made more intuitive based on user feedback from around the world.
