If you use Truecaller to identify unknown numbers but feel like you’re missing out on its best features, you’re not alone. Technical Expert Baba’s video shares 5 hidden tricks that transform how you use the app—from securing call logs to protecting privacy. After analyzing the video, I’ve compiled these steps with extra insights to help you get the most out of Truecaller.
1. Backup Call Logs to Never Lose Important Calls
Losing call history when switching phones or misplacing your device is a common frustration. Truecaller’s backup feature solves this:
- Open Truecaller and tap the three-line menu.
- Go to Settings → Backup.
- Toggle on backup and link your Gmail account.
- Tap "Backup Now" to save all logs (incoming, outgoing, missed) to Google Drive.
Pro Tip: Use a personal Gmail account to keep call data private and accessible.
2. Switch to Full-Screen Caller ID for Clarity
Tired of small pop-ups when receiving calls? Full-screen caller ID makes it easier to see who’s calling:
- Go to Settings → Caller ID.
- Select "Full Screen" instead of "Classic Pop."
Why It Works: This eliminates distractions and displays the caller’s name/photo prominently—ideal for large-screen phones.
3. Control Who Sees Your Truecaller Profile
Privacy is key, and Truecaller lets you decide who views your profile:
- Navigate to Settings → Privacy Center.
- Tap "Who Can See My Truecaller Profile."
- Choose "Request" instead of "All Truecaller Users."
Critical Note: Strangers must send a request before accessing your profile, keeping your name/photo safe.
4. Customize Dial Pad Feedback
Adjust the dial pad’s sound or vibration to suit your environment:
- Go to Settings → General.
- Scroll down to "Dial Pad Feedback."
- Choose from "Silent," "Vibrate Only," "Sound Only," or "Sound & Vibrate."
Practical Use: Use sound in noisy areas to confirm key presses, or vibrate in quiet spaces.
5. Filter Call Logs for Quick Access
Finding specific call types (missed, incoming) saves time:
- Tap the three dots in the call log section.
- Select the call type you want to view (e.g., Missed Calls).
Time Saver: Perfect for users who receive many calls and need to find logs fast.
