Caller ID application Truecaller reaches 500 million monthly active users.

The caller ID application Truecaller, rooted in Sweden, announced on Tuesday that it has achieved the significant milestone of 500 million active users every month on its platform. The company also reported surpassing 150 million users outside of India, which remains its largest market with over 350 million monthly active users.

According to the company, it gained 50 million users in 2025, and its overall user base has doubled over the last five years. In April 2025, Truecaller stated it had accumulated more than 450 million users. Additionally, the company highlighted that upwards of 4 million individuals are subscribed to its premium plans.

“Increasing numbers of individuals require assistance in handling spam, scams, and uninvited communications daily,” remarked Truecaller CEO Rishit Jhunjhunwala in a statement. “Achieving 500 million users illustrates the magnitude of that necessity and the confidence that people have in Truecaller to enhance communication safety.”

“Our commitment is centered on perpetually enhancing Truecaller with advanced technology and innovative features that safeguard users before, during, and after every call or message. Ultimately, our goal is to create a more secure and trustworthy communication environment for all. We are now focusing on the next target: 1 billion users,” he further added.

In recent years, Truecaller has been focusing on broadening its offerings beyond caller identification. Recently, the company introduced a feature that allows one individual to become an administrator and terminate calls for family group users to prevent scams. Truecaller has also been exploring the use of AI for call screening and responses.

Truecaller informed TechCrunch last month that it is also trialing an AI feature capable of automatically monitoring disconnected calls when specific scam-related terms, like “digital arrest,” are identified. This tactic involves fraudsters masquerading as law enforcement officers to extract sensitive information or funds from the callers.

In India, the company is encountering obstacles from the nation’s Caller Name Presentation (CNAP) system, which showcases the name of the caller as registered with their telecom providers.
