Feature 10 - Mutual Friends & References for each & every contact


1. Know who Friend is calling
At times just Caller ID is not enough. You can't make out from name if the stranger who is calling is Friend or Spammer. Hence Shark ID introduced "whose friend is calling" to help you identify if the unknown caller is Friend or Foe.

2. Mutual Friends are of 3 Categories in Shark ID
Mutual Friend - List of your friend who know the caller, refer Example 1
Common Contact- List contact who know the caller, refer Example 2
Reference - List your friends who know a friend who knows the caller, refer Example 3

3. Understanding 3 categories of Mutual Friends with an Example:
Suppose your name is Ramesh Sinha
You receive a call from a person called Ritesh Patel, let's call him our caller & his number is not saved in your contact. Also assume Ritesh Patel is a Shark ID user

Example 1 - Mutual Friends
Assume you have a Friend called Rakesh Sinha, who also knows Ritesh Patel
So Rakesh Sinha will be show as Mutual Friend

Example 2:  Common Contacts
Assume you have a contact called Rohit Sharma. The caller Ritesh Patel also know him.
So Rohit Sharma will be shown as Common Contact

Example 3: References (Maybe)
You have contact called Utkarsh. Utkarsh is also Friend of Rakesh Sinha. So Utkarsh will be your Reference. As we are not 100% sure, this will be labelled as Maybe.

4. How to give permission to view Mutual Friends?
First time you try to view mutual friends, system will prompt you for permission.
If you say yes, only then can you see Mutual Friends.
If you say no, you cannot see mutual friend now will your name will appear as mutual friend of any contact.

5. How to stop your name from appearing as others mutual friend
Only if you give permission can you see mutual friends. If you remove permission, you name will not appear as mutual friend of anyone. To remove  go to;
