Truecaller, a popular dialer alternative for Android, has gained some new functionality in its latest update. You'll now have a smart call history, the ability to change your availability, and a revamped dialer, plus much more. Truecaller has already offered the ability to block various callers, and easily identify who was calling you, and this is the next step forward for the team. The company describes the new features as:
- Smart Call History replaces unknown numbers with real names and faces in your call history, even for numbers that are not saved in your contacts. Now you don't need to save contacts to your phonebook.
- Availability shows you if your friends and contacts are free to talk before you call. Now you'll never get a busy signal or interrupt someone again.
- Built-in dialer allows you to make all your calls directly with Truecaller.
You can find all the details about the update below, and you can grab the latest update from Google Play.
