Truecaller lets you mark callers as spam

Truecaller app allows users to find out who is calling or messaging them. This is ideal when you don't have the number saved in your contacts as you can know before picking up the call if you should answer or reject. The app crowdsources contact details from all its users' address books which means your contact could be on Truecaller's database. While this may be a drawback of the app, it does have many benefits as well such as blocking numbers, marking numbers as spam so you can avoid those calls, and more.

So, to help you out, we have put together a step-by-step guide on how you can change your name on Truecaller, delete your account, edit or remove tags, and more.
