Why You Might Want To Uninstall Your Truecaller Application by Electronzeez(m): 10:35pm On Feb 02, 2016 |
The best explanation that can be given to truecaller is from the name itself true' caller ' . an apps that reveal the identity of a number... which is mostly name , location and sometimes address . Truecaller is designed such that it access your entire contact and messages .it might have access to some other files on your phone , I don't know that for sure . The advantage of truecaller outweigh its disadvantage ....... the blocking of spam calls,messages , unveiling the identity behind a number , the location a number is calling in from . The major disadvantage of truecaller is that it is very very implicating , the very moment you gave a truecaller user your number , your private line becomes a public line , sorry but it is the truth . The truecaller on my phone is a week old. Why I downloaded this application ? . everytime I give someone my number they are always like 'oh you are so so and so? , oh you school ....? 'You are from that state'? and I have this reflex "truecaller again!!!!". Whats the point?, everyone on planet earth can tell what my name is just by dialing it on a truecaller application , my hotline is not in anyway private . The fact is the only number that has no name tag to it on truecaller app is the number that has not been given to a truecaller user . How to remove your number from Truecaller You must uninstall truecaller application from your phone before you proceed below. Go to the Truecaller unlist page.Enter your phone number with the correct country code. For example: +911140404040or +919999999999.Tick one of the reasons for unlisting, or if you wish, type your reasons for removal in the OtherKey in the verification captcha.Click Unlist. Unlist page , visit https://www.truecaller.com/unlist Note ; there is no permanent way to remove your number from truecaller data base , hence trying the method above can only take you off from truecaller database for at least a year.

peterjero: We gave them the approval bro . I believe you must agree to the terms and condition before downloading it. Terms and conditions are always very long , I have a boss that taught me how to read terms and conditions before clicking Accept or sign. 35 Likes |

Whats your concern here exactly? You installed truecaller because you want to see the identity of every caller? Why then do you have an issue with people seeing who you are when they get your number? Truecaller does not give out your number to anybody and doesnt have your email address either and gives location based on where you use your phone mostly...so i dont really know what you are complaining about or did you not read what the app does before you downloaded it? And besides you dont have to signup or download the app for the truecaller users to identify you. See how it works for every user that downloads the app gives it access to their contacts; so whatever the person saved your number as on their phone is saved to the Truecaller database. SO if on my phone i save it as "Stupid Fool" and i have the app, then anyone that gets your number will see Stupid Fool come up 104 Likes 6 Shares |

Whether you have it on your phone or not, information about you can get to them. It can be through friends or relatives. I have a phone line I rarely use except to call people very close to me. Out of curiosity, I searched for details of the number and I was surprised my nicknames popped up. They used the info on my friends' phone to update the number. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Why do I have to knw the identity if someone who called? Am I a private investigator? If I hide my number, it will bever reveal my identity. The only one it will reveal is a number you didn't store in your phone book- an unknown caller. Now, why worry abt that? |

I cannot remove the app from my phone because i use it for advertorial function. Once you dial my number,it will bring you what i do and my address....its another form of unpaid advert.
