    What's the story

    Truecaller, the widely used caller identification app for Android, offers advanced blocking capabilities.

    The options are designed to improve user experience by efficiently filtering out spam and fraudulent calls.

    The app provides three levels of protection: Off, Basic, and Max. Each one has a different level of security against unwanted calls, letting users customize their call screening process as per their needs.

    Protection tiers

    Understanding Truecaller's protection levels

    The "Off" level is the lowest tier of protection, where no calls are automatically blocked. However, Truecaller still identifies all incoming calls and shows if the caller is a potential spammer.

    The "Basic" level provides automatic blocking of top spammers in your region or country, and offline protection to block spam calls without data access. However, users need to manually update their spam list with latest information.

    In "Basic" level too, Truecaller identifies calls and shows if they're from spammers.

    For premium users

    'Max' level offers highest protection against spam calls

    The "Max" level offers the highest level of protection by blocking every single call marked as spam or fraud, regardless of whether they are frequent or occasional spammers.

    However, it is currently limited to Truecaller Premium users.

    This level also offers extended offline protection against top spammers in your area or country. The offline protection is automatically updated on your device.

    Information

    Steps to enable/change different levels of protection

    Open Truecaller and tap the profile icon in the top-right corner. Under the Manage Blocking option, choose from or switch to the protection levels: Off, Basic, or Max.

    Additional tools

    Other blocking features

    Along with the protection levels, Truecaller also provides advanced blocking options that work in conjunction with your selected level of protection.

    These include automatic blocking of hidden numbers, calls from foreign countries, and numbers not in your phonebook.

    These features add an additional layer of security against unwanted calls, improving the overall experience.

    User control

    Manual options for personalized protection

    Truecaller also offers manual blocking options for those who want more control over their call screening process.

    These include the ability to manually add phone numbers to a blocklist, block specific phrases or names, and even block calls from a particular country by adding its country code to the blocklist.

    These features give users the flexibility to tailor their call screening process as per their liking.
