  • Truecaller Introduces New User Verification For Mobile Web

Truecaller introduced a new user verification solution for its mobile web platform.

The new user verification solution, Truecaller SDK, supports all the key mobile platforms and allow developers to access the mWeb SDK from Truecaller’s global developer portal.

In a statement put out by the company, Truecaller explained that “across emerging markets like India and Africa, mobile web-based experiences on smartphones are proving to be the first point of discovery for users trying to access products and services online. One of the key challenges in these markets has been to on-board users using email or other modes and getting verified using the inefficient OTP process. This SDK solution on mobile web is intended to simplify this process for developers through its OTP-less and free to use phone number based verification solution, allowing their users to seamlessly and securely access services using their Truecaller credentials.”

This will reduce barriers and contain user drop offs, while at the same time increasing growth of verified users.

Commenting on the launch, Priyam Bose, Global Head, Developer Platform & Relations, Truecaller, said: “Our vision has always been to enable the developer community by providing them with solutions that help them to build user-focused, trust-based and growth-oriented products. User onboarding and verification continues to be one of the critical use cases for developers as it is crucial in creating a first impression for their users in terms of building a seamless and secure product experience. On an average, developers in growth markets are starting to see anywhere between 40%-60% of their users now coming from mobile web, giving us more reasons to launch our Truecaller SDK solution for mobile Web interfaces.”

 This launch extends Truecaller’s philosophy of building and solving problems at scale for users and developers globally, with value-driven functionalities. Truecaller SDK service for the mobile web platform can be used to fulfil use cases such as mobile number based signup, login, checkout, verification, and more such touch-points across the user journey.

Early access developer partners for this service also shared their experiences.

 Mukund Laddha, Product Manager, OYO, said:  “At OYO, we have been expanding globally at a rapid pace. Improving user experience during authentication has been a key area of focus. This integration with Truecaller presented us with an opportunity to present users with a reliable alternate login method with a large presence across countries. This has made user on-boarding on web more fluid and frictionless.”

 Zairus Master, CEO, Shine.com, said: “At Shine.com, our constant endeavor is to improve our end-user experience by adopting best-in-class technologies. As an early access partner, the integration with Truecaller’s verification solution for mobile web platform will help candidates simplify their registration process on Shine.com and facilitate a constantly active and verified set of candidates on the platform, complete with their updated contact details. We believe that this product integration will give Shine.com a competitive edge over other job portals which solely rely on traditional, OTP-based verification.”

 According to Udit Tyagi, Product Head, Times Internet Limited – Indian Languages News Business: “In the ever-evolving world of PWA’s the gap between app and mWeb is slowly fading away and users expect uniformity and seamlessness in terms of experience and onboarding irrespective of the platform. By leveraging Truecaller SDK for mobile web, we have been able to improve the on-boarding experience of users in our canvas of mobile web apps. In our case, onboarding conversions via Truecaller are 41% higher compared to standard onboarding processes.”

More Lagos Residents to Become Homeless as Government Intensifies Urban Planning Vision 

Published

on

The rate of destitute and homeless people in Lagos State is increasing, findings by Investors King have revealed.

This looming societal crisis is connected with the efforts of the Lagos State Government to enforce the Urban Planning Laws of the state and also bring its master plan to reality.

Notwithstanding the laudable efforts of the government, many poor residents, especially those who live in squalors and dirty coastal areas are paying the excruciating prizes as thousands of them have been thrown into accomodation distress.

While the about 3,000 residents of Ayetoro community in the Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos State are yet to recover from the shock they experienced during the demolition of their houses on Monday, the people of Mayegun Waterfront Scheme, located in Eti Osa Local Government Area of the state are about to taste same agony.

The Task Force and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) left thousands of families homeless and in distress after the demolition exercise.

Similarly, the state government had demolished structures under the Dolphin Estate Bridge where hundreds of people find shelter.

Not relaxing in its efforts at pulling down what it termed illegal landed property, the Lagos State Government has issued contravention notices to more than 280 illegal property owners and occupiers within the Mayegun Waterfront Scheme, located in Eti Osa Local Government Area, citing violations such as master plan distortion, slum development, and risks of coastal erosion.

The government of the nation’s commercial nerve centre said the action carried out on Saturday, September 14, is part of its broader effort to curb unregulated development that threatens Lagos’ urban landscape.

According to a statement on its X page, those served with the contravention notices have seven days to submit relevant documentation and approvals to justify their occupation of the properties in question.

It said failure to comply with the directive will result in demolition notices being issued, as the government continues to demonstrate its firm commitment to enforcing urban planning laws and safeguarding the state’s vulnerable coastal areas.

Investors King gathered that the government frowns against slums, squalor and under dirty and dangerous environments that could possibly become hideouts for criminals, hence its unrelenting efforts at sanitizing the state.
