Truecaller for Web was launched by the company on Wednesday as a new way to access the platform when a 's Android smartphone isn't nearby. s can now log on to the web interface and look up numbers, or message s via SMS or Truecaller chat. Once loaded, the Truecaller for Web interface will also show messages that are automatically categorised. It currently works with Android smartphones, and there's no word from the company on when — or whether — iPhone will arrive.

While the Swedish company previously allowed s to look up unknown numbers on its website after g in, the newly announced Truecaller for Web interface is designed to bring more features from the Truecaller on a smartphone, s can look up unknown numbers, even if their phone isn't nearby, by typing or pasting them into the search bar.

Alerts for incoming calls will be displayed on a computer that is linked to Truecaller on an Android phone. Other services like Microsoft's Phone Link app allows you to view incoming notifications (including phone calls) even when your phone isn't nearby, albeit without the unknown number lookup functionality.

Truecaller Adds New AI Feature for Better Spam Call Protection

s will be able to view and use their PC (or laptop) keyboard to reply to SMS and Truecaller chat messages on their computer, organised into three categories — Inbox, Promotions and Spam. Outgoing messages can also be marked as urgent from the web interface, according to the company. The web interface will also allow s to attach files as large as 100MB.

To access Truecaller for Web, s will need to have Truecaller installed on an Android smartphone and a modern web browser on Windows or macOS like Firefox, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge. Navigating to the Messages tab and tapping the three-dot menu > Messaging for Web > Link a device will let s can the QR code displayed on the website to to Truecaller for Web.
