The Swedish-developed call identification application, Truecaller, announced on Tuesday that it has achieved the significant mark of 500 million monthly engaged users on its service. The firm also disclosed that it surpassed the threshold of 150 million users beyond India, its primary market, which itself boasts more than 350 million monthly users.
The enterprise indicated that it gained 50 million users in 2025, and its clientele has expanded twofold over the last half-decade. As of April 2025, Truecaller reported having exceeding 450 million users. The firm also highlighted that more than 4 million individuals are subscribers to its premium offerings.
“An increasing number of individuals require assistance in managing unsolicited messages, fraudulent schemes, and undesirable interactions on a daily basis,” Truecaller CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala declared in a press release. “Achieving 500 million users demonstrates the magnitude of this necessity, and the confidence individuals invest in Truecaller to facilitate more secure communication,”
“Our dedication continues to center on perpetually enhancing Truecaller with more intelligent technology and novel functionalities that safeguard users pre-, intra-, and post-every telephone call or text. Ultimately, our objective is to construct a more secure, more reliable communication environment for all. We are now aiming for the subsequent benchmark: 1 billion users,” he further stated.
Truecaller has been endeavoring to broaden its offerings beyond mere call identification over recent years. The firm recently unveiled a new function that would enable an individual to act as an administrator and terminate calls for members of their household group to prevent falling victim to fraud. The company has also been testing the application of AI to filter and respond to calls.
Truecaller informed TechCrunch last month it is also piloting AI to automatically oversee dropped calls upon the detection of specific phrases linked to fraudulent activities, for instance, “digital arrest” — a strategy where culprits mimic police personnel to illicitly obtain details or funds from those receiving calls.
In India, the company is encountering difficulties due to the country’s Caller Name Presentation (CNAP) mechanism, which exhibits the caller’s identity as recorded with their telecommunication providers.
