In today’s digital age, privacy to mobile number is becoming a big issue. Truecaller, a popular call identification app, may help in identifying unknown calls, but many users are now worried about their numbers becoming public. If you also want that your mobile number should not remain in Truecaller’s database, then for this the company has given the option to delete the account.

Why do people want to remove numbers from Truecaller?

Truecaller app works on users’ data for caller ID and identification of spam calls. For this reason, many times people’s numbers start appearing on Truecaller even without using the app. Due to increasing awareness about privacy, now users want that their mobile number should not be available on any third party platform.

Why is it necessary to delete the account?

Simply uninstalling the app does not remove your number from Truecaller’s database. Unless you delete your Truecaller account, your number may remain in the company’s records. Therefore, to ensure privacy, it is necessary to delete the account completely.

Once the process is complete, your account will be deactivated and your number will gradually be removed from Truecaller’s database.

If you don’t have the Truecaller app on your phone, you can still delete your number through the website. Truecaller’s unlisting service can be used for this. OTP verification has to be done by entering your mobile number there. As soon as the verification is complete, the process of removing your number from the search results starts.

How much time does it take?

According to Truecaller, it may take 24 to 48 hours for the account to be deleted or the number to be unlisted. During this time your number is gradually removed from the platform. However, in some cases this process may take a little longer.
