Truecaller Surpasses 500 Million Users, Flags 68 Billion Spam Calls

Truecaller has surpassed 500 million users worldwide, marking a significant milestone in the company’s mission to build trust in communication.

The platform continues to see significant user growth, adding over 50 million users in 2025, and has surpassed 150 million users outside of India as demand for protection against spam, scam and unwanted communication continues to grow globally. Truecaller also crossed four million paying subscribers globally earlier in the year, further strengthening one of its key revenue streams.

According to The Guardian checks, the platform reached 100 million monthly active users in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region as of August 2025. The figure, covering both Android and iOS users, represents a 19 per cent year-on-year growth.

Further, Nigeria is listed among Truecaller’s largest markets in MEA, alongside Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Algeria, Ghana, and Jordan. In these markets, the app is used on between 20 per cent and 45 per cent of connected smartphones.

Crossing the 500-million-mark underscores how trust has become one of the most essential layers in digital communication today. With more than one billion downloads since launch, the firm said 68 billion spam and fraud calls were identified in 2025 alone.

Chief Executive Officer of Truecaller, Rishit Jhunjhunwala, said: “This is an important milestone for us, but it also says something bigger about the world we live in.

With half a billion people using the platform every month, Truecaller said it has evolved beyond just Caller ID. It has become an essential part of how communication works safely in the digital age; a daily-use trust layer that helps people verify identities, avoid fraud, and make informed decisions about who they interact with.
