What is CNAP and Why Does it Matter?
CNAP (Calling Name Presentation) is an official government-backed feature that shows the verified name of every caller directly on your phone. Unlike third-party apps like Truecaller, which rely on crowd-sourced data, CNAP pulls the caller’s real, KYC-verified name straight from telecom operator records. This move is set to:
- Drastically reduce phone scams and spam calls
- Boost transparency and trust in mobile communication
- Be available by default to all users (with a simple opt-out option)
