Truecaller has officially rolled out its long-awaited voicemail service in India, bringing a new level of convenience to Android smartphone users. With this feature, users can now receive and read voice messages when a call goes unanswered, removing the need to call back just to understand the purpose of a missed call.
The feature is especially useful in situations where users are unavailable, busy, or unable to answer calls immediately.
When a user misses a call, the caller is given the option to leave a recorded voice message. Truecaller captures this message and processes it within the app.
Truecaller uses AI-based transcription technology to convert the recorded voicemail into text.
