Truecaller on Wednesday launched the web version of the platform wherein users can search for unknown numbers and access Truecaller SMS inbox on their web browser.
With this, Truecaller users can read and respond to text messages and chats from computer, get real-time incoming call and message alerts on it. It also allows to attach multiple files (upto 100 MB).
According to Truecaller, an encrypted link between phone and web browser will keep everything secure. The chats stay between you and your contacts, it said. Users can also chat with people who are not on Truecaller as well.
The messages can be classified as SMS, Truecaller Chat, Urgent Messages and there’s an integrated smart SMS filtering mechanism to stop spams.
