Facebook Creative Labs has launched Hello for Android, a new Caller ID app that shows you who’s calling you, even if you have not saved the person’s number in your phone.The app also lets you block unwanted calls that go straight to voicemail, which can be reviewed in your recent calls. This directly competes with Truecaller that offers the same caller ID and blocking features. Since the Hello app has Facebook integration, it offers latest info about your contacts and lets you search for people and businesses on Facebook and call them easily.
