Right now, Truecaller seems to be limiting the number of active sessions and will automatically log out users after 30 days of inactivity. Similar to WhatsApp and Telegram, users will also be able to manually unlink a browser. The company says the web client is currently in beta and that the developers will roll out new features in the coming days.
While users could already search for unknown numbers on the website, it had some rate limitations. However, the web version of Truecaller seems to have no such restrictions, meaning users can now search for as many numbers as they want.
