The Truecaller APP will come pre-installed on all future Android phones sold in Malaysia.
Recently, Truecaller announced that it will cooperate with several Android mobile phone manufacturers and will pre-install the Truecaller APP on new mobile phones. Malaysia is one of the countries that will have the Truecaller app pre-installed.
In recent years, phone scams have emerged one after another. On average, Malaysians receive 8 million spam calls every month. Malaysia ranks 32nd on the global spam list.
Truecaller is a mobile phone application that allows users to look up information on callers. The Truecaller APP will restrict incoming calls from a phone number that has been identified as a source of harassment or fraud. When getting a call, the user can additionally check the source of the number before deciding whether or not to answer it.
At present, Truecaller has not clearly stated which Android phone manufacturers it will cooperate with to pre-install the Truecaller APP.
