Truecaller launches AI-powered Message IDs feature to alert users about important messages

Truecaller has launched a new AI-powered filter that can scan through the inbox and pick out the important messages, called Message IDs. The company is rolling out the feature in India and 30 other countries and can read through messages in languages like Hindi, Spanish, Swahili besides English. 

“From bank alerts and OTPs to delivery updates, flight itineraries, and payment reminders—Message IDs catch the signals in the noise. They summarize key details, highlight what matters, and help you take action quickly,” a press release shared by Truecaller stated. 

The feature helps users to not miss out on important texts in a sea of spam. The scanning is done in device, the company said, which ensures that user data remains private. 

Users just need to enable two options - Read SMS and Display Over Other Apps, to get alerts for important texts.

Truecaller has also added Green Message IDs as an extra layer of trust for users, which show a verified tick against a business as proof of its legitimacy. 

“With the integration of AI in Message IDs for both premium and non-premium users, we’re providing people with a smarter, more secure way to manage their important SMS messages,” John Joseph, Product Director, Insights at Truecaller noted.
