Commenting on the feature, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, Chief Product Officer at Truecaller said, “We are thrilled at the launch of Call reason, Schedule SMS and SMS Translate. We have been working towards building an innovative communication suite for our users and these three features are the next big step in line with this mission. Communication in 2020 is easier in many ways, but also complicated by the vast ways in which people connect for information. As a brand, we strive to stay true to the core principle of building a product for masses while always acting in the public interest. We are constantly listening to our users and want to help them by putting more power in their hands.”
Call Reason is one of the major highlights of the new Truecaller app update. As the name suggests, the feature enables users to set a reason for their outgoing call. This way the receiver, if they have Truecaller installed, will be notified if the call is personal, business or something urgent. The company claims that “this would increase pick up rates, especially when callers are calling from new numbers.”
Another interesting feature is the new 'Schedule SMS' feature. If you are using Truecaller as your default messaging app, you will now be able to schedule text messages, which means they will be delivered only as per your desire. Some use cases of the feature would be message reminders for events, meetings, or what groceries you need to pick up at the end of the day.
Lastly, the new update also introduces the SMS Translate feature that allows users to instantly translate the content of their messages directly in Truecaller without leaving the app. This feature works for both SMS and instant messages (IM). All these features will be free for all consumers.
