But what's new is that Google Dialer app is all set to add a new feature that will bring it at par with the Truecaller app. Yes, you guessed it right! We are talking about caller ID feature.

As per a recent report, the new update which is going to be added in Google Dialer will be the caller ID provision where a user can see the details of the caller like his location, name etc. Reportedly, this feature was under the testing process since a few months before they finally decided to launch it. According to XDA, which is a tech information site, this is the latest feature in Google Phone app and is not available for all the users. However, the feature will be launched for everyone soon.  

How will this feature work?

This feature is caller ID that means user will be able to identify any unknown caller who is calling them and where does the number belong to. In short, it is exactly how popular app Truecaller works where you get to know that who is calling you without saving their number. This feature in Google Dialer app can be accessed if one has set the Google Phone app as their default app for calling.
