With the launch of its AI-powered voicemail feature for Android users, Truecaller takes a major leap to modernize the way missed-call communication works in India. This is unlike conventional carrier-based voicemail systems, as Truecaller’s new solution natively lives inside an app, is free to use, and was specifically tailored for Indian users, offering support for voicemail transcription in 12 regional languages.
It is designed to reignite interest in voicemail, since most people in the market have become wary of answering unknown or spam calls.
A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Voicemail
Conventional voicemail systems have been conventionally plagued by poor adoption due to convoluted access methods, PIN requirements, and many usability limitations. Truecaller’s voicemail eliminates these barriers by making receiving, reading, and managing voicemails seamless right inside the app.
This is an application that, once a call isn’t answered, the caller can leave a voice message, which is automatically recorded by Truecaller. The app then provides a text transcription in mere seconds, and users can rapidly read the message instead of playing the audio. Needless to say, this feature comes in quite handy in meetings, noisy places, or any place where listening to voicemail is a little inconvenient.

Support for 12 Indian Languages
Arguably, the greatest highlight of this new voicemail feature is its AI-powered transcription support for 12 Indian languages, which really opens this facility up to a far wider audience. These include:
- Hindi
- Bengali
- Marathi
- Tamil
- Telugu
- Kannada
- Malayalam
- Gujarati
- Punjabi
- Urdu
- Nepali
- Sanskrit
This multilingual support speaks volumes about Truecaller’s attention to the linguistic diversity of India and enables the users to comprehend messages in their own choice of language rather than having blind faith in English.
Privacy-First, Yet Centered Around the User
Truecaller has spoken to the issue of privacy as a core part of this voicemail feature. Voicemail recordings, says the company, are stored locally on a user’s device and not on any external servers, thereby giving users greater control over their data and less concern for long-term storage or misuse of voice recordings.
This will also allow users to control voicemail playback with features like variable playback speed, making it easier to skip through longer messages.

Integrated Spam Protection
It is also very tightly integrated with Truecaller’s existing spam detection and call identification framework, so users can instantly identify whether a voicemail is from:
- A known contact
- A business
- A suspected spam caller
For those who always ignore calls from unknown numbers, this feature will ensure that they don’t miss out on something important while also avoiding real-time interaction with fraudulent callers.
Easy Setup and Free Access
Setting up Truecaller Voicemail is pretty easy. Users only need to:
- Update to the latest version of the Truecaller app
- Ensure call forwarding is enabled so missed calls can be rerouted to the voicemail service
The entire setup will take just a few seconds. What makes this more important is that this voicemail service is free for all Android users across India, making this a pretty strong alternative to paid or carrier-restricted voicemail services.
Advanced Features for Power Users
While basic voicemail and transcription are free, Truecaller Premium subscribers get access to more advanced call-handling features such as
- Truecaller Assistant
- AI-powered call answering
- Caller engagement on behalf of the user
- Personalized greetings
These features offer a more hands-free and controlled communication experience.

Why This Matters
With spam calls on the rise and language diversity at an all-time high, Truecaller’s new AI Voicemail addresses real pain points felt by Indian smartphone users today. By marrying the feature set of free access, multilingual transcription, spam filtering, and privacy-focused storage, missed calls are redefined for Android devices.
Truecaller has also hinted that it might expand this voicemail service to other markets, depending on user adoption and feedback in India. For now, Indian Android users get a powerful new tool that turns missed calls into meaningful, manageable communication.
