Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, has announced a worldwide partnership with LinkedIn to bring richer professional context and trusted identity to its caller ID service. The integration aims to make professional calls easier to recognize and understand by adding LinkedIn profile information directly to the caller ID screen.
With this partnership, Truecaller users can optionally connect their LinkedIn accounts to display their job title, company, and profile picture when they call someone. Recipients will see this professional context alongside the caller’s name and photo, helping them decide whether to answer. Additionally, if the caller has verified information on LinkedIn, such as their workplace, Truecaller will show a verification indicator.
“A phone number by itself tells you almost nothing. Truecaller’s role has always been to add the context people need to decide whether to answer. Our partnership with LinkedIn lets people add richer professional context to Truecaller Caller ID, building on the trust and verification signals LinkedIn has established around professional identity,” said Kunal Dua, Chief Product Officer at Truecaller.
New users can sign up using “Login with LinkedIn” to pre-fill their name and profile picture. Existing users can enable the “Verified on LinkedIn” feature to add their workplace and job title to their Truecaller profile. The professional information is entirely optional and can be disconnected at any time.
“We’re making it seamless for members to take their verified credibility to more platforms they use. Using our ‘Verified on LinkedIn’ integration, members can instantly connect their LinkedIn profiles on partner platforms and carry over relevant verification signals without separate verification processes,” said Oscar Rodriguez, VP of Trust Product at LinkedIn.
The integration is available now on Android worldwide, with iPhone support coming soon.
