How this Call Alert Feature Works

Call Alert feature works on the WiFi or Data channel. People having Truecaller installed makes a call, the other person having Truecaller will be notified even before the call is being connected.

For this feature to work, there is only one requirement and i.e. Truecaller must be installed on both the devices and an active Internet connection.
