Google started rolling out its Verified Calls feature which is kind of a Caller ID with some great features, in order to take on Truecaller. There are reports that Google is working on a dedicated calling app just like Truecaller. However, until then you can use this feature.
The new Verified Calls feature not only lets you see whos calling but also tells you what is the purpose of the call. Businesses can list a reason for calling so you will be double sure that you need to pick the call or not.
