businessUpdated: Aug 19, 2020 13:33 ISTCaller identification app Truecaller on Wednesday said it identified 29.7 billion spam calls and 8.5 billion spam SMS for its users in India last year. The Swedish company has also rolled out a new spam activity indicator for Android phone users that will give detailed statistics on the spammer. In 2019 alone, we identified 29.7 billion spam calls and 8.5 billion spam SMS for our users in India,” Truecaller said in a statement. The company, in a previous report, had said India had ranked fifth in 2019 in terms of number of spam calls received by users per month, and eighth position in terms of spam SMS. Currently, three trends - spam reports, call activity and peak calling hours - will be shown to users when they tap on the spammer’s profile image in the app.
