kingw: Bro everything is open to the public. You can use other browsers, you can manage how much of your info they have. What malicious purpose is there? Google is a publicly traded entity and they have terms and conditions. You can learn SEO to understand how search engines work, or take AI/ML lessons to understand understand how the info they harvest from users are being used. Everything is open for understanding. Google doesn't hide it, you don't expect them to go around teaching even people how it works. It's like blaming car manufacturers for not teaching drivers how the car engine works with other parts of the car to enable driving |

ClassicMan202: Truecaller is a malicious app and it's mainly Nigerians that are using it. I remember when one werey presidential Aid said they'd share phone to people and Nigerians were fuming, I was like shey na same people wey dey give their data to Truecaller and gbwhatsap dey fear to have the govt monitor them?? Oga Truecaller and google are not the same. You can delete your info from Google and clear your data, can you clear the data of your contacts that Truecaller has taken?? My main point!! Truecaller has a backdoor grim where they steal users data. Stop comparing to Google Now you rest, I get energy. 1 Like |

shaggy007: Lol, don't mind them. People who use chrome, facebook and other google services are complaining of spying. The truth is some apps will definitely ask for permission to access some things on your phone in other to serve its' purpose but they are not meant to disclose your personal details. Whatsapp also have access to his camera, media and phonebook but he is here complaining of truecaller. 3 Likes |

1Alex: Story. In case you don't know, a data harvester can easily read and harvest the data packages transmitted on a specific range of network mast. With this, calls, texts and location can be easily accessed. Does that stop criminals from using phones?? Does that mean network providers are spy apps |

Af0nja:it's like you guys don't get it. Truecaller is simply True caller. It's an app that helps you identify who's truly calling with an unknown number, that's the job of the app. It sources for information of the caller from all places where such number has been saved or registered with. They don't have such information without you giving them access. 1 Like |

harmargedon: It's simple, when you give them permission to manage your contact, they synchronize your contact list to their database from where they run checks on incoming calls that match the contacts on their database. 1 Like |

Okonandmary: I'll believe this...so there's this app I do go to wile away time....so in other to earn coins..you watch some short video ad. Do you know that there was this particular ad I watched, I clicked to it then later exit. But to my greatest surprise.. when I entered Facebook.. suddenly this advert kept coming up. I kept wondering how Facebook knew I was interested in that service even when I was feeling reluctant about registering on the site. That was when I realised that these guys are really spying on us. These days I'm always careful which app I grant permission to my phone. 1 Like |

Af0nja:Listen to the people correcting you bros. Any app you grant access/installed on your phone is a potential spyware and google (Android) tops the list of such apps. Google knows more about you than even this true caller you’re worried about. Plus I see nothing wrong with an app showing me the most popular name with which most people save someone’s name with and checkmating frauds as a result. We complain too much about frivolities abandoning bigger issues. What an irony , you were even calling someone a blockhead. You’re so worried about privacy and you are using an android phone 1 Like |
Re: Who Else Noticed This About True Caller by Morphinne: 10:22pm On Jul 02, 2022 |
Powerfly:Yeah you got it. They will start pushing familiar adverts to your field and you would be surprised and start wondering how Facebook got to know that you just made a search on a particular grocery on jumia or jiji using google search o . So the bottom line is that if you care about privacy, then don’t use an android phone because these apps will be useless without you granting them access. 1 Like |
Re: Who Else Noticed This About True Caller by Af0nja: 4:46am On Jul 03, 2022 |
Morphinne: Stop comparing the activities of an app to that of a platform. Google owns Android, they have the right to use your information to improve services and serve you and advertisers. This is business. Using an Android phone has nothing to do with level of privacy. You can always control the amount of your info they have. Fyi, Truecaller also has an IOS version. Again, comparing android to Truecaller is the dumbest thing in this tech era. If you think iOS is more privacy conscious than android then should I burst your bubble that Google pays them billions of dollars annually to stop them from building their own search engine If apple starts a search engine today, trust me your privacy bruhaha will be dead. |

Re: Who Else Noticed This About True Caller by Deicide: 11:03am On Jul 04, 2022 |
Anyways can someone explain how true caller knows that a call is coming in? They notify you and before you know phone go day ring? My guess would be that it would only happen if the person use true caller app to make the call so when they hit dial true caller would send you a notification that someone tried to call in and then the call would finally come in. |
