1. Truecaller's Official WhatsApp Integration (Not a Separate Bot):
The most important news is that Truecaller has officially integrated its caller ID and spam detection features directly into the main Truecaller application to work with WhatsApp. This means:
No separate "Truecaller bot" for WhatsApp to download: You don't search for or add a bot within WhatsApp to get this functionality. Instead, you download the official Truecaller app itself.
Feature within the Truecaller App: you enable within your Truecaller app's settings. For Android, this typically involves going to "Caller ID Settings" in Truecaller and enabling "Show Caller ID for WhatsApp," then granting "Notification Access" in your phone's OS settings. For iOS, it's often enabled by making sure Truecaller is active in your "Call jordan whatsapp number data Blocking and Identification" settings.
Identifies Unknown Calls and Messages: Once set up, Truecaller can identify unknown incoming calls on WhatsApp and can also identify the sender of unknown messages on WhatsApp (and Whatsapp ). This is a free feature for basic identification.
2. Free Functionality and Premium Features:
Basic Identification is Free: The core ability to identify unknown WhatsApp calls and message senders is available for free within the Truecaller app.
AI-Powered Message IDs (Free): Truecaller recently rolled out AI-powered Message IDs (as of April 2025), which intelligently identify and summarize important business messages in your SMS inbox (like OTPs, delivery updates). This feature is also available to both premium and non-premium (free) users.
Premium for Advanced Features: While basic identification is free, Truecaller still offers a premium subscription for advanced features like no ads, enhanced spam blocking, seeing who viewed your profile, and AI Call Scanner.
3. "Truecaller Bot" on Whatsapp (Third-Party):
While not directly related to WhatsApp, it's worth noting that there are third-party Whatsapp bots (like @truecallerjs_bot found on GitHub) that attempt to offer Truecaller lookups within Whatsapp . These are unofficial and require you to manually send a number to the bot. These are not official Truecaller products for WhatsApp.
