APPS SIMILAR TO TRUECALLER

Truecaller was launched in july 1 2009 and it is a Sweden app developed by Nami Zarringhalam. At that time it was the best caller id service provider all around. There were no caller ID service providers better than truecaller. It is the oldest and the most powerful service provider in the world of caller ID. It has many features that makes a good caller id app like you can check whether your friend is online or offline or you can check the availability of anyone on truecaller.

When someone calls you on your phone then truecaller gives a notification before the call is connected with the name and number of the caller. If someone calls you and your call didn't connect then truecaller will notify you that someone has called you. So either way you won't miss any call.

But these days truecaller is asking for permissions for sms services and by mistake if you confirm it to use sms service then it gains complete control on your messages and it can have all your otp or your passwords that come via sms. It also consumes lots of battery because it runs in the background.

With time many new apps similar to truecaller have been introduced. Here you will find some of the best caller ID service provider apps. Most of us don't know about these apps.

It has more than 50 million users.

The only thing that users don't like about this app is that it asks access to Google account, contacts, battery optimization, sms, photos,etc.
In reply to this issue the developer of the callapp says that we only ask for the permissions for the betterment of this app. Without the permissions it will be difficult to use callapp.

Other than this it is a good caller id app that you can try.

7. Caller Id

This app just not only shows you the name or number of the caller but also the photo of the caller. So you can easily find out who's calling you.
I like this feature in a caller id app. Moreover it synchronises with social media sites like Facebook, Instagram  etc to show you the exact photo of the caller. After seeing the photo of the caller you can easily find out who the caller is.

This app shows more information than any other caller id app. But the sad thing about this app is that it has a small database as compared to other caller ID apps. So this is the only limitation of this app but with time it will be solved.

Try this app when you didn't get the idea of the caller, by seeing the photo you can easily guess the person.
