New Truecaller feature allows backup on Google Drive

Some of these apps also enable users to block calls as well as SMSs and report spam callers and messages, allowing the larger community of users to avoid the spammers too.

In a response to high user requests, Truecaller has launched its backup for Android feature which allows users to backup and restore their contacts, call history, block list and settings to Google Drive.

The feature simplifies a user’s transition to a new phone or SIM card by securely backing up their contacts and settings, stored on their Google Drive and helps them avoid lost contacts, blank call logs and lost data.

Users will be able to customise the frequency of a backup between daily, weekly, monthly and on demand. The upgrade enables the recovery of any lost data from Google Drive which Truecaller can restore to its last saved state.

Initially, the backup file will only be available for Google Drive users, but the plan is to expand the options to other backup storage in a near future. If you don’t already have a Google Drive account you’ll be prompted to create one.
