Truecaller chief executive and co-founder Alan Mamedi said: "Truecaller is about putting trust into communications and adding more information about who you're communicating with, and the Tagging feature will take this commitment one step further."
"Over time, we envision using this information to improve our users ability to identify who is contacting them, why they are contacting them, what they are contacting them about, and be able to make an informed decision as to whether to take the call, or not," he added.

"The new feature will start on the Android feature and will be later updated on other platforms," the company said.
