Last week, Truecaller launched a ‘government directory' feature in India to allow Indians to connect with verified government officials.

In order to keep in line with Google's PlayStore policies, the platform recently pulled-back its ‘call record' feature.

Truecaller, which presently shows the names of unsaved numbers as saved by crowd sources, may soon have to change this feature to be in alignment with expected amended rules in India.
