New Delhi: It’s time to get over WhatsApp updates as Truecaller is launching a slew of new features for its Android users in select countries. In total, the caller identifying app has launched three new features: group voice calling, as well as utility tools - smart SMS and inbox cleaner. 

According to Truecaller, the features have been rolled out based on the feedback of the users and are meant to improve their experience on the app. For those uninitiated, Truecaller is an app that helps its users to identify caller’s identity and block spam calls and messages.

Using the ‘Group voice calls’, as the name suggests, users will be able to make international voice calls with up to eight people. Notably, the calling feature is already available on Truecaller and Group voice calls is an additional feature to its calling service.
