With Truecaller for Web, there is no need to keep switching between your phone and computer.

Once linked, the web interface loads up within seconds and shows your SMS, IM and business messages (segregated as inbox, promotions and spam messages) in an easy-to-read interface.

You can type out messages using your computer keyboard for that extra boost in speed and accuracy, attach multiple files (up to 100 MB) and set messages to urgent (using Truecaller's Urgent Messages feature).

Speaking on the launch of the web platform, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Chief Product Officer and Managing Director India at Truecaller, stated, “Truecaller for Web is a new addition that allows for a seamless way to stay connected across your phone and computer. Our solution integrates well with the lifestyle of modern users, empowering them to effortlessly search for unknown numbers, streamline their workflow and easily switch between devices.
