None the less, it will let you find the details about unknown phone numbers, so when you get a missed call from any phone number, you don’t have to call back immediately. You can use Truecaller app to first check and find the caller ID of that number. Most of the time it shows you the name of the person and in some cases pictures of the person if he has uploaded it.

Also when you install Truecaller app on your mobile phone, you can update your details, which will help to build a better profile of yours on TrueCaller database. That includes adding your photo, details like Twitter handle, Website address, Facebook contacts. It’s up to you, how much details you want to add.

Also, even if you don’t want to use this app, I would recommend you to go to their official site, and check what details they have about your mobile numbers.

In case if you don’t want true caller to show your identity, you can remove your number from TrueCaller service. You need to add a request here for unlisting your number.
