- What is Truecaller Assistant
Truecaller Assistant is an AI-powered virtual assistant designed to manage your calls. When enabled, the Assistant answers incoming calls, inquires about the purpose of the call, and provides you with the information you need to decide if the call is worth answering. - Is this service available for both Android and iPhone users? Which devices and software versions will it support?
Yes, the Assistant is available on both Android and iOS devices. It supports most devices and software versions. - Will the Assistant automatically decline robocalls or known spam calls and hang up the phone?
The Assistant does not automatically decline known spam calls by default, but you can enable auto-blocking of known spammers within the app's preferences. - Can the Assistant make calls for me instead of just answering them?
Currently, the Assistant is designed only to answer calls and cannot make calls on your behalf. - Will the inclusion of Assistant increase the size of the Truecaller app in any way? What kind of processing power would it need on the device and are there any battery use implications with Assistant enabled?
The Assistant does not increase the app size. Most processing occurs in the Cloud, so it has minimal impact on your phone's processing power or battery life. - If I send the call to my Assistant, will the caller be able to realize that they are talking to a virtual assistant - or will it just seem like a real person to them?
Callers might recognize that they are interacting with an automated service, or they might believe they are speaking to a real person. By default, the Assistant informs the caller that they are interacting with a smart assistant, though users can customize this introduction, - Does the Assistant answer calls automatically?
No, the Assistant does not answcalls automatically. To transfer a ringing call to the Assistant, you need to decline the call or double-click the power button when the phone is locked. - Hypothetically, could a caller keep engaging with the assistant indefinitely (if they did not realize it was virtual)? Or if I desired to keep a spammer busy for a long time, could the assistant do that for me?
Yes, it is possible to keep a conversation going with the caller through the real-time chat screen if desired.
