Truecaller launches TrueSDK for user verification via third party apps

Truecaller has introduced TureSDK which allows third-party apps to easily onboard users with their Truecaller profile and their Truecaller verified phone number. This will enable both the users to use their credentials which are already verified with Truecaller to quickly engage with 3rd party apps of their liking. The feature is presently available only on Android and the company has also partnered with 12 companies for the same.

TrueSDK provides phone number based onboarding and verification it is also free to use and there is no verification cost for the present Truecaller users. The feature is available only with some selected partners on the Android platform. In an official statement, the company said, "This service can be used by developers to sign up, update a user's information, or purely verify the user's phone number based identity in their mobile apps through user consent."

Talking about the same, Nami Zarringhalam, Chief Strategy Officer and co-founder of Truecaller, said, “At Truecaller, our mission has always been to provide as much information as possible to users about their calls and enabling them to use that information in meaningful ways. In this process, we realized the power and importance of a mobile number, especially when it comes to personal identification. Our aim is to empower third party apps with a credible verification option and enable users to use the app of their choice by making their phone numbers their identity."

Last year, Truecaller launched a feature Transliteration to allow users to know user information in Hindi. The new feature in the phone directory app activates real-time Hindi transliteration of the caller ID function.
