Readonee35L:It is those who foolishly allow permission to read phone book you should blame. Removing your number from the app will only work for your phone. Others who have the app and allow permission to contact will make you name available to any person 2 Likes |

sainty2k3: Its called Privacy I have given my phone number to numerous people over the years and most likely that number would have spread. That does not now mean, that anyone who gets hold of that number should know my name! I see some people photo on truecaller. Imagine that. If someone is planning your assassination, it will be so easy to get you with true caller. Its wrong. I also removed my number from their database. Another provoking thing is that truecaller gets details, from people's phonebook. That does not guarantee accuracy. Nigerians save numbers anyhow. Someone can save my number as Greene.66 Nairaland. (Does that mean its my name?) just like I save my mechanic number as "Ahmed Mechanic". Now, anyone who gets that man's number will know he is a mechanic. Is it right? I saw my friend's number as "Janet Runs" (Are you kidding me?). Truecaller should be scrapped. Its unfair 1 Like |

Awoo88: No. They have an official means of removing your number at which no one else can see it even with truecaller app. Its on their site. Once they remove it, its removed till you install truecaller with that number again. I have tested it. |

Awoo88: If you use the link to remove your number, it remove it really does not remove it from their database, but mark it such that if someone with your number in their contact installed the app and give permission to read their contact list, the app will exclude your importing your number from their contact as there will be a marker on their database to exclude your number because you have delisted it. It is the same way that do not call list work in the USA. The fact that someone else who have my number in their contact list gave true caller the right to read their contacts, does not mean true caller have the right to do so, especially when the real owner have opt out. Plus, I don’t you can install the app if you decline to give access to your contact. I have removed all my numbers from true caller, but uses the web version sometimes to check the identity of some unknown callers. |

You've not fully activated it, that's why u can't fully explore it. To get it done: Go to settings....phone...call blocking and identification. Turn it on and you're ready to enjoy your true caller application. |

linearity:I did not know that! I checked and discovered that numbers can truly be delisted. |
Re: I Notice That Truecaller Doesnt Work Well On Iphone, Any Alternative? by linearity: 7:30pm On Feb 11, 2018 |
Awoo88: It is ‘delisted’ in that, their app will no longer map your name to your number for future queries. However, to make sure your number don’t get relisted again the future, when someone else who have your number downloaded the app, they have to keep that number in their database. Usually, they do this by moving delisted numbers to a different table in the database and strip them off of the identifying info like name, etc...this table is checked each time a database update is carried due to someone downloading the app and any matches number will not be downloaded. |
Re: I Notice That Truecaller Doesnt Work Well On Iphone, Any Alternative? by ewizard1: 7:56pm On Feb 11, 2018 |
How I think TrueCaller works is this.. It syncs numbers from every users' phone book and try to acertain a name for it. For example, 5 users saving a same number; User 1 - 080xxx - Wande Party User 2 - 080xxx - Wandee User 3 - 080xxx - Bae User 4 - 080xxx - Wandy User 5 - 080xxx - Wande Runs Girl The TC system shuffles the whole names and pick the most used one "Wande" in this case. And that likely what someone calling 080xxx would get when they call the Number. Another things is TC seems to authenticate users, what I mean is; if I call a number and it tells me "Wale Rewire" it tells the number I am calling is a right one and not mistaken. An besides, is Wale not proud of his profession? He should be! I am into a Legit business so I installed TC and logged in with my details and what I do, so if anyone gets my number from anyXXX , TC helps let them know my services is genuine. So for my guy up there, check well, your friend Janet might really be into runs. (My opinion tho) |
