The service has helped more people experience a data-only product in offline mode and enabled them to make their communication safe and efficient. India being a large feature phone friendly population, Truecaller expanded its caller ID feature to this quintessential group of users in April last year.

Earlier, Truecaller launched a new feature called "Truecaller Backup" for Android devices. This new feature will now allow users to backup and restore their contacts, call history, block list and settings to Google Drive. According to the company, this new Trucaller backup option will help users in multiple cases like moving from an old smartphone to a new one, using new SIM cards, reset handsets, or even re-installing the app.

'Truecaller Backup' has been one of the most requested features by its users and will simplify a user's transition to a new phone or SIM card by securely backing-up their contacts and settings and stored on your Google Drive, the company said in a statement. The new backup feature will be available on Android smartphones in the "next couple of days," Truecaller has said. However, the backup file will only be available for Google Drive users to start with but the feature will be expanded to other backup storage in future.

Users can also customize the frequency of backup between daily, weekly, monthly and on demand. The upgrade enables the recovery of any lost data from Google Drive which the app can restore to its last saved state.

Apart from this new feature, the developers behind the app have also introduced another feature dubbed as "Truecaller Contacts" for the users. As such this feature will enable users to search for contacts whose details have not been saved but they have previously communicated with. The feature contains all the contacts users have called or texted which makes it for them to recall and communicate with temporary contacts without saving them in their phone book.
