Caller’s Name Will Now Be Visible Without Truecaller: Jio and Other Companies Launch This Service
In a major development for smartphone users in india, Jio and other telecom operators have announced a new service that will display the caller’s name even for unknown numbers, eliminating the need for third-party apps like Truecaller.What This Means for UsersPreviously, identifying unknown callers often required installing apps such as Truecaller, which scanned contacts and crowd-sourced data to show caller information. With the new service, users will automatically see the caller ID on incoming calls, enhancing convenience and security.This feature will help in:· Reducing spam calls – Users can instantly identify unwanted telemarketing or scam calls.· Improving transparency – Genuine callers will be recognized without relying on external apps.· Protecting privacy – Since the information is provided by telecom operators, users don’t need to grant access to their contact lists or personal data to third-party applications.How It WorksTelecom providers, including jio, are implementing network-based caller identification services. When a call is made, the system retrieves the registered name associated with the number from the telecom database and displays it on the recipient’s phone in real time.The service will be available for both prepaid and postpaid subscribers, and users may need to enable it through their operator’s app or settings. It works across all smartphones without requiring additional downloads.Industry ImpactExperts believe this move could significantly reduce the dependency on apps like Truecaller and set a precedent for privacy-conscious, operator-backed caller ID services. With millions of users in india facing spam and fraudulent calls daily, this service is expected to improve call transparency and user experience.Telecom companies are rolling out the service gradually, and full nationwide availability is expected soon. Subscribers are advised to check with their service provider for instructions on activating the feature.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any agency, organization, employer, or company.
