content:Opening: Why Truecaller Matters & How to Get Started

Ever received an unknown call and wondered who’s on the line? Truecaller solves that—but setting up an account can feel overwhelming if you don’t know the steps. After analyzing this tutorial video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to create your account, verify your number, and customize your profile—all in simple, actionable steps. Let’s dive in.

content:Pre-Setup: What You Need Before Starting

Before you begin, make sure you have three things ready:

  1. The Truecaller app installed on your phone (from Google Play Store or Apple App Store).
  2. An active mobile number (since verification requires an automated call).
  3. Access to your phone’s gallery (if you want to add a profile photo later).

These are non-negotiable—Truecaller relies on your number for verification and your contacts to identify incoming calls.

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps:

Step 1: Select Your Language

Open the Truecaller app. The first screen will ask for your preferred language. Choose English, Hindi, or any other language you’re comfortable with. Tap Get Started to proceed.

Step 2: Grant Necessary Permissions

Truecaller will request permissions for call access and contact access. Grant these permissions—they’re essential for the app to identify incoming calls and sync your contacts. Tap Continue after granting.

Step 3: Verify Your Mobile Number

Enter your mobile number (with country code). Tap Verify Number to start the verification process. Truecaller will call your number with an automated message—answer it, and the app will automatically verify your number.

Step 4: Confirm & Proceed

Once verified, tap Next to move forward. You’ll see an option to set Truecaller as your default caller ID app—choose this if you want it to replace your phone’s default caller ID.

Add a Profile Photo

Go to the Profile section. Tap the photo icon and select From Gallery to upload a picture. Crop it to your liking and save—this photo will appear when you call others who use Truecaller.

Update Your Name & Details

You can change your display name (if it’s incorrect) or add optional details like birthdate or gender. Note: Avoid sharing sensitive info (like address or company) unless you’re comfortable—these are not required for basic use.
