Jio Introduces MyJio App Feature to Track and Control Call Forwarding

New Delhi: Reliance Jio has rolled out a new feature in the MyJio app that allows users to manage voice and video call forwarding directly from their smartphones, eliminating the need to access the phone’s default settings. The update aims to enhance user privacy and prevent unauthorized call forwarding. Protecting Your Calls from Unwanted Access Call forwarding is a convenient feature, but it can be misused. If enabled without your knowledge, someone else could redirect your incoming calls to their device, allowing them to listen in. Until now, telecom providers like Jio, Airtel, BSNL, and Vi required users to disable forwarding via phone settings. Jio’s latest update takes a step forward by letting users control call forwarding directly within the app. How the Feature Works W...
