mir, 27 Aug 2016Just more bloat that most of the users will never use in the phone's lifetime.I find it very useful, since where I live and many other countries dual-SIM phones are very popular, Truecaller identifies unknown numbers, notifies when the number is spam, you can mark numbers as spam too, block numbers and it also identifies the carrier, so you know what SIM to use to save money since calls to the same carrier are way cheaper.

Thanks, but no. Last thing I want is to upload my contact list (and possibly call log) to some obscure 3rd-party servers that may do what they please with my data.
