The firm said a new version with the fix will be available shortly for the affected users.
Call
identification app Truecaller
on Tuesday rolled back an update to its app after users complained of
unified payments interface IDs getting created in their name without
their knowledge.
Several
users complained on social media about the app’s latest version
(10.41.6) automatically sending an SMS from their phones, after which
they began getting messages saying “Your registration for UPI app
has started”.
“We
have discovered a bug in the latest update of Truecaller that
affected the payments feature, which automatically triggered a
registration post updating to the version.
This
was a bug
and we have discontinued this version of the app.
so
no other users will be affected,” Truecaller said in a statement.
“We’re sorry about this version not passing our quality
standards.
We’ve
taken quick steps to fix the issue, and already rolled out a fix in a
new version.”
The
firm said a new version with the fix will be available shortly for
the affected users.
“However,
in the meanwhile they can choose to manually de-register through the
overflow menu in the app.”
