A Major Update for Android Users In a move that is set to redefine how millions of smartphone users handle missed calls, Truecaller has announced that its popular Voicemail feature is now available for Android users for free. Previously reserved for Premium subscribers, this rollout aims to provide a more comprehensive communication experience for the app’s massive user base in India and beyond.
What is the Truecaller Voicemail Feature? The Voicemail feature acts as a digital answering machine integrated directly into your dialer. When you are unable to pick up a call—whether you’re in a meeting, driving, or in a low-network area—the caller can leave a short audio message. This ensures that important information is never lost, even if you can’t answer the phone in real-time.
Key Highlights of the Free Rollout The most significant change is the removal of the paywall. Android users no longer need a monthly subscription to access this utility. Key benefits include:
Custom Greetings: Users can record their own voice to greet callers, adding a personal touch.
Spam Protection: Truecaller’s AI identifies spam callers and prevents them from cluttering your voicemail box.
Instant Notifications: You receive a push notification as soon as a voicemail is left, allowing you to listen to it at your convenience.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Enable Voicemail on Truecaller Activating this feature is simple. Ensure your app is updated to the latest version from the Google Play Store and follow these steps:
Open the Truecaller App.
Tap on your Profile Icon or the three-dot menu.
Go to Settings and look for the Voicemail option.
Toggle the switch to Enable.
Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your greeting and grant necessary permissions.
Why This Matters for the Indian Market In a country like India, where professional and personal calls often overlap, missing a call can sometimes mean missing an opportunity. By making Voicemail free, Truecaller is bridging the gap between basic caller ID and a full-fledged personal assistant. It also reduces the anxiety of “unknown missed calls,” as the context of the call is now available through the recorded message.
The Future of AI and Communication Truecaller continues to integrate AI into its services. While the basic voicemail is now free, the company hints at more advanced features like AI-powered transcriptions (converting voice to text) becoming more accessible in the future. For now, this free update is a massive win for the average Android user looking for better call management.
