Want more privacy? Manage your Truecaller 'search history' now
What's the story
Truecaller does a great job at identifying and blocking spam, but it also keeps a history of your searches, which can be handy for keeping track of who you've been trying to avoid (or maybe just whose calls you've missed).
This tutorial walks you through managing this feature on Android, including how to navigate your history and delete it for privacy or just to free up some space.
Accessing history
Finding your search history made easy
To find your search history in Truecaller, first open the app on your Android phone.
Make sure you're on the search screen if you're not already.
Simply swipe left on this screen to access your call log and your Truecaller search history.
This area shows both incoming and outgoing calls, along with the numbers or contacts you've searched for using Truecaller's search function.
Clearing history
Deleting your search history simplified
If you want to delete your search history for any reason (privacy or just to keep things tidy), start by opening the Truecaller app.
Tap on the search bar at the top of the screen; this will display your recent searches.
In this section, find and tap on the "Clear History" option.
To complete the deletion process, tap on "Clear History" again and confirm by clicking "Delete" when prompted.
Extra advice
Additional tips for efficient use
For those using iPhones, it's important to note that Apple's call system restrictions only allow Truecaller to access search history, not call logs.
Regularly clearing your search history isn't just good for privacy but also crucial for protecting personal info.
It keeps your data secure and your Truecaller experience smooth.
