How to opt out of Truecaller
1. Open Truecaller's unlisting page
If you have an active Truecaller account, deactivate it in the app first. Deleting the app alone does not deactivate the account. Then open Truecaller's official unlisting page.
These instructions describe published request steps, not a removal tested here. Follow the live official form if it differs.

2. Enter your number and complete the human check
Enter your own phone number with its country code. Complete the CAPTCHA if the page asks for it, then select Unlist.

3. Confirm the unlisting request
Read the confirmation prompt. It explains that unlisting means you can no longer use the app. If you want to proceed, select Unlist again.
4. Read the response and keep a record
The example shows an “Unlisted” message. Keep your own response and follow any timing shown on the live page. Check your number later rather than treating this example as proof of your removal.
What happens next
Save the submitted listing URL or identifying details, request date and every response. Received, processing and completed are different states.
After the site reports completion, check the original listing and search again for matching records. A temporary error, access block or empty search alone does not prove deletion.
Check other websites separately. Keep a reminder to review the original site again, rather than assuming one request protects every copy forever.
What removal covers
The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
- What this request covers
- The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
- Search results
- A search result can lag behind the underlying page. Check the actual listing separately from Google or other search engines; this guide does not promise a delisting deadline.
- Browser privacy
- Cookies and advertising controls are separate from a people-search listing. Use the site's current privacy settings for those choices.
Having trouble?
The live form differs from these instructions
Follow Truecaller's current official privacy options. Published pages can change; do not send identifying details to a different operator or an unverified replacement form.
The page is blocked or will not load
Try the official page again later in a current browser. Do not bypass an access challenge, buy a background report to unlock removal or treat a blocked page as a completed request.
A request is marked received, but the listing remains
Check the response for its status and any published processing guidance. Keep your original request details for a follow-up through the site's official privacy or support route.
Google still shows the old result
Open the underlying page first. If it has genuinely changed or disappeared, you can use Google's Refresh Outdated Content tool. This is a separate process, not a promise of immediate search removal.
Truecaller opt-out FAQs
Where should I start with Truecaller?
Use Truecaller's official privacy route to request removal of your matching information.
What does this Truecaller request cover?
The request concerns this site's matching personal record. It does not automatically remove original public records or the same information from unrelated websites.
Which details should I provide?
Use the identifying fields required by the live official request, such as phone number. Share only what is necessary and review any sensitive-document requirement.
How do I know the request is finished?
Keep the actual response and check its status. After the operator reports completion, review the matching record directly; a receipt, blocked page or elapsed time does not independently prove removal.
Does this cancel a subscription or erase all public records?
No. Account billing, original public records, search-engine results and other websites are separate. Use the appropriate official route for each.

Quick calculator
What does doing it yourself cost?
Adjust the numbers to see how repeated opt-out work could add up over a year. This is an illustrative personal estimate in US dollars.
Illustrative only. It does not measure removals, show plan savings or guarantee any result.
How this is calculated
hours = brokers x minutes per request x times per year / 60; value = hours x value of one hour
