Truecaller has launched its instant messaging (IM) platform Truecaller Chat.
Truecaller, with the help from its community, has launched the new chat service as a shield against viral messages sent on its instant messaging platform.
Users will be able to mark website links as spam if they suspect it to have incorrect information, which will then help users make an informed decision about what information they are accessing.
With time, Truecaller also plans to apply machine learning and use the aggregated spam reports to predict any upcoming viral trends.
Additionally, Truecaller Chat is bundled with other features such as, auto-switch between SMS and chat, which will help users keep conversations in one place.
Rishit Jhunjhunwala, vice-president: products at Truecaller, comments: “As a one-stop communication platform, the IM service will help users to connect and collaborate to combat the issue of spam. We’re confident that this foundation stone will help build a strong spam-free community.”
