Android watch users can download the app and use it to ID callers
Caller ID apps help you avoid falling into the trap of spam callers and now you can do it from your wrist using this app.
What if we tell you that an Android smartwatch can be your weapon to block and avoid spam calls? Yes, that’s right. Truecaller now has an app that works on WearOS which means any Android-powered smartwatch like the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 or the OnePlus Watch 2 can run the new app and pair with your phone to block the incessant spam callers. Android watches are reliable and the new-gen models have matured to give you longer battery life, so having apps like these running on the smartwatch is a definite bonus, especially if you don’t want to pick up the phone for every call.
Block Spam On Your Wrist With Truecaller – How It Works
Truecaller is offering the new WearOS app which can be downloaded from the Play Store running on the Android smartwatch. Now, follow these steps to make the feature work:
– Search for Truecaller
– Install it on your Watch model
After you install the Truecaller app on your WearOS watch, pair it with the phone on which the Caller ID app is running. You don’t need to set it up further and the feature will start working on the wrist. We independently verified the feature on an Android watch with our Truecaller account and the spam ID tool is very effective and it shows the results instantly on the wrist.
The Watch app is an extension of the phone so you need to have the app installed on both the devices. Truecaller also says you need to make the app the default phone app on the phone to make the best use of its caller ID tech. If you don’t do it then some features might not work effectively. You don’t need a premium version of the app to make it work on the smartwatch.
All the features work through the phone app as you cannot make any changes to the settings from the Watch app. And yes, the app is not available for iOS users and we don’t see it happen anytime soon.
