Truecaller, the immensely popular android and iOS app is used for identifying the caller identity. This will be very helpful when to identify scam or business related calls, and aware us from attending them. Notably, if someone else using Truecaller has your number saved on his phone, you’re likely to appear on Truecaller’s database when searched by anyone either in the app or web. There’s no doubt that it offers the convenience to search for unknown callers, but at the cost of revealing your details to anyone on the platform.
