Truecaller is mostly known for its caller ID feature, but the platform is now moving towards the audio conversation segment with its new Open Doors app. This platform goes up against fellow apps like Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces and a few more that we have on the market right now. Truecaller claims that it wants to enter the world of private conversations and Open Doors is the ideal platform for users to experience it.
Open Doors is free to use and is available for both Android and iOS users. But how does Open Doors work and how is it different from other apps in this segment.

What are open doors and how do they work
Open Doors is another app for private conversations, like Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces. Truecaller says that if you are a user, you can sign up for Open Doors through Truecaller Access, otherwise, you can verify the mobile number through a one-time password (OTP) process.
Open Doors will ask for the following permissions on your smartphone to work:
– Contacts: To connect with other people in your contact list
– Phone: To enable audio conversation
Truecaller assures that people talking on Open Doors cannot see each other’s phone numbers. Open Doors currently supports English, Hindi, Spanish, Latin and French as languages on the app’s interface. More will be added as per demand.
how open doors work
After signing up for Open Doors, you can enter or leave a private conversation at any time. You can invite people by sharing the chat link with your friends, and then the app will invite other friends to chat. Truecaller says that all conversations happen in real-time and are moderated. But the chats are not stored anywhere, and neither can anyone listen to the conversation without knowing it.
The platform will be getting new features, and some of them like reacting to people’s chats (perhaps with emoji) are already on the way to beta testers.
It’s interesting to see that Truecaller is bringing this app at a time when others like Clubhouse have lost traction, and most people use the Twitter space for these conversations. So it will be a challenge for Open Doors to stay relevant in a dwindling segment.
