Cyanogen has been working to expand the reach of its custom OS build for
OEMs, Cyanogen OS, to a broader audience and lately announced various
partnerships including Microsoft
for future releases. As part of it, the company has now announced a
partnership with Truecaller, which will see its caller ID service
integrated into an upcoming Cyanogen software update likely to be
released in few months. Truecaller's spam blocking functions will also
be integrated into the dialler.
The partnership will see Truecaller's
caller ID service on future smartphones that run Cyanogen OS
out-of-the-box. The company also confirmed that Yu Yureka and OnePlus
One users will also receive the feature in a future OTA (over-the-air)
update. Cyanogen, as of now, has not revealed specific release dates for
the OTA though.
It's worth noting that despite the Truecaller
feature will be integrated into Cyanogen OS, it will require users to
opt-in to start using it. Cyanogen on its blog explains that the choice
has been left to consumers.
"Cyanogen is all about giving users
control and putting the "personal" back into mobile computing. As with
any app we make available through our operating system, you have the
choice to use or uninstall an app based on your individual preferences,"
the company notes on its blog. It added, "On a regular basis, we all experience the annoyance of
unwanted calls, incoming numbers we don't recognize, and overzealous
telemarketers who can't seem to take no for an answer. Thanks to our
awesome global partnership with Truecaller, you'll be able to screen
calls via caller ID and block unwanted spam directly from the native
dialer on Cyanogen OS."
