You could have a missed name, however it’s not from one among your contacts, only a random quantity.

The usefulness of this characteristic is thus impaired because it will not have the ability to determine non-public people. So, apps like Truecaller will certainly not be killed by the launch of this new characteristic.
Then once more, Truecaller and the likes might even in concept combine themselves into this technique, letting you carry out a lookup of their databases when you hit that “Lookup” button, including an additional tiny little bit of comfort.
