Overview
- The feature lets up to five people form a trusted group where a Family Admin sets protection levels and shares blocklists to tackle scams and unwanted calls.
- On Android, the admin receives real-time alerts during suspected scam calls, can view basic device status such as battery level and phone activity, and can remotely end flagged calls.
- Family Protection is built into the Android and iOS apps at no cost, with an optional Premium Family plan that adds advanced spam blocking, automatic rejection of high-risk numbers, and an ad-free experience.
- The pilot is live in Sweden, Chile, Malaysia, and Kenya, with early usage insights guiding refinements before broader deployment.
- Truecaller cites rising fraud and new network-level caller-name efforts such as India’s planned CNAP as it expands beyond caller ID, with India among markets slated for Q1 2026 expansion.
