Cyanogen partners with Truecaller to bring smart caller ID to Cyanogen OS devices

The folks over at Cyanogen have just announced a partnership with Truecaller which will eventually bring web-enabled caller ID functionality into smartphones running Cyanogen OS.

Truecaller integration will make its way to devices via an OS update over the next few months, and will actually be part of the Cyanogen OS dialer. You’ll be able to opt in or out of the new feature once you start up your device. If you choose to opt in, Truecaller will supposedly be able to look up the number that’s calling you, even if that number isn’t saved in your contacts, in less than a second. In addition, Truecaller will let you know how many people have marked a certain phone number as spam, so you can decide whether to pick up the call or not.
