title：Truecaller Wrong Name Issue: How to Find Real Number Owner Easily

content：Why Truecaller’s Name Issues Are a Big Problem

If you use Truecaller, you’ve probably faced two frustrating issues: unknown calls showing only numbers (no names) or search results giving wrong names for numbers. These problems make it hard to trust incoming calls or identify who’s behind an unknown number—especially when dealing with spam or important contacts.

After analyzing Technical Expert Baba’s YouTube video, I found a simple, reliable solution to these issues. The method leverages UPI apps (like PhonePe or Google Pay) to get the real name linked to any number, which is far more accurate than Truecaller’s user-submitted data.

Issue 1: Unknown Calls Show No Name

When an unknown person calls, Truecaller often displays their number instead of a name. This leaves you guessing whether the call is from a friend, spam, or someone important.

Issue 2: Wrong Names in Search Results

Searching an unknown number on Truecaller frequently returns incorrect names. For example, the video shows a number labeled “Vain Gram Dundwa” when the real name is “Urmila Devi”—a mistake that can lead to confusion or missed connections.

The video’s core solution uses UPI apps (PhonePe, Google Pay, BHIM) to find the real name linked to any number. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Open Your Preferred UPI App

Choose an app you already use—most people have PhonePe, Google Pay, or BHIM installed.

Step 2: Navigate to the Mobile Number Section

In PhonePe, tap the “Mobile Number” option (usually in the send money menu). For Google Pay, go to “New Payment” then select “Mobile Number”.

Step 3: Paste the Unknown Number

Enter or paste the number you want to check.

Step 4: Check the Real Name

The app will display the name linked to that number (from the bank account associated with the UPI ID). This name is bank-verified, so it’s 90% accurate (per the video).

Note: 10% of cases may not work if the number isn’t linked to a UPI account, but most users do link their numbers to banks these days.

Truecaller relies on user-submitted data, which can be outdated or incorrect. UPI apps, however, pull names directly from verified bank accounts. This makes their data far more trustworthy for identifying number owners.

For example, the video shows that PhonePe correctly displayed “Urmila Devi” for a number where Truecaller gave a wrong name. This is because the UPI app uses official bank records, not crowd-sourced info.
