Enabling Call Alerts:
One of the best features updated by the Truecaller app is to alert calls before even ringing. Though the feature only works with people who have installed the Truecaller app on their phones. So even before dialling your number to give you a ring the Truecaller app will send you a notification of the incoming call contacts and let you decide if you want to pick it up or not. The feature is enabled using data or Wi-Fi to send you the alert faster, as cellular networks are slower than internet networks the alerts can reach faster as notifications.
There is an option on the Truecaller app where you can use full-screen for all incoming calls on the Truecaller interface. And the incoming calls which will be highlighted in colours to show if it is important or spam. For example, for saved contacts, the incoming calls will be blue, for spam calls it will be red, for priority calls it will be purple, for users who have gold accounts it will appear gold. Here are the steps to enable the feature.
