Truecaller,
the company behind the app that shares the same name, has released a
new app for Android called Truemessenger. This new offering aims to make
SMS smarter and contain less spam. How it achieves this is by verifying
the identity of those who send you SMS messages, allowing you to mark
specific senders as a spammer in the contact list. This will then
prevent said contact from contacting you via SMS
.
Much like how Truecaller works, this new protection layer allows you
to help others out by weeding out those annoying numbers that send you a
constant stream of spam messages. Truemessenger will also migrate all
marked messages to a dedicated folder, keeping your actual conversation
list clean of clutter and unwanted messages
.
As well as the added protection, Truemessenger automatically assigns
photos, nicknames and other details to contacts, pulled from social
networks. Oh, and that new message tone is composed by Swedish DJ
Avicii. So if you still rely on SMS and haven't made the leap to one of
the various instant messaging services available today, give
Truemessenger a go and see how you get on
.
