Spam calls and robo calls are one thing, but we all have been in a situation where we regret picking up a call and wished we knew why the particular person had called beforehand, right? Well, Truecaller's new feature is just that. 

It's called 'Call Reason' and it will essentially tell you the reason behind an incoming call. The call reason will flash on your screen as you recieve the call and you can choose to pick up or ignore it.

You asked for it, and we made it. Introducing Call Reason, the new way to tell people why you're calling. https://t.co/sWrRXGdvIw

This feature sounds very useful and we're certain this will make a lot of people download Truecaller. So, here's how it works -

Before you initiate a call, Truecaller will ask you to specify the purpose of the call. This is the message which will flash on the person's phone as the reason for your call. Truecaller says that this will be useful for both parties and it'll increase pick-up rates too.

Imagine getting the Call ID for an unknown number and also knowing why they're calling! Now that's what we call a smart feature. Truecaller also noted that the messages are encrypted and they won't be able to read the reason.
