Truecaller – leading global caller ID & call blocking app platform – has launched AI-powered Message IDs, a tool to help users spot important SMS messages amidst a crowded inbox.
Features of AI-Powered Message IDs
AI-Enhanced Message Detection
Using advanced artificial intelligence and Large Language Models (LLMs), this feature scans SMS messages directly on the user’s device, keeping data secure. It pinpoints vital messages such as bank notifications, OTPs, delivery statuses, flight schedules, or payment alerts. The company says it extracts and displays key information for quick user action.
Universal Accessibility
The feature is available to all users, not just Premium subscribers or those using English. Whether in Delhi, Nairobi, or London, and regardless of whether texts are in Tamil, Spanish, or another language, Message IDs cater to diverse needs. Users must allow two permissions—Read SMS and Display Over Other Apps—to receive instant alerts for critical messages.
Trusted Messages with Green Tick
To counter fraudulent texts, Truecaller introduced Green Message IDs, marked by a verified tick. This signals that the message originates from a legitimate, verified business, enhancing user confidence.
Wide-Ranging Message Recognition
Beyond standard transactional messages like OTPs or delivery updates, the feature identifies a broad array of important texts, including non-traditional informational messages. Truecaller noted that this ensures users never overlook essential updates, regardless of the message’s category or structure.
Availability
The company says AI-powered Message IDs are currently live in India and 30 additional countries.
Commenting on the launch, John Joseph, Product Director, said,
By bringing AI to Message IDs for both premium and non-premium users, we’re giving people a smarter and safer way to manage their important SMS messages. This marks an important step forward in our goal to make communication more secure and efficient.
