Truecaller,
the popular caller ID app, has launched Truecaller Backup for Android, a new
feature which allows users to backup and restore their contacts, call history,
block list, and settings.
The feature comes in handy when you’re switching to a new phone, getting a
new SIM card, or resetting your device. Truecaller Backup simplifies transition
to a new phone without losing contacts, call logs, etc.
How Does it works?
Truecaller will create a
private folder on your Google Drive to store the backed up files.

folder.

Not a fan of true caller since I heard that they store your data and sell them.
yeah, it's definitely a good move. probably the only thing I admire about the app right now
I hope they don't collect sensitive data with subtlety.
Nice one truecaller.
