But to find out who does all these, we were introduced to a very common app named ‘truecaller’.


Truecaller is one of the wide used app, which provides accurate solution by giving us the name of the owner in whose name the sim card is registered in or it also provides the name by finding the number in other close by devices and gets the contact name saved in that particular device.

Thereby it makes us easy to find out who the person is but at the same time there are some other privacy insecurities found in truecaller too. If you aren’t aware of this then come let me tell you in brief. Most of the time, the truecaller app service grabs data from the contacts, call logs and messages.
