How to Hide Last Seen on Truecaller

Truecaller does a fantastic job of helping you avoid spam calls, and providing you with caller ID for unknown numbers. However, several privacy settings within the app may require your attention. Truecaller gives away information about when you last placed a call to other users on the app. If you wish to turn it off, you can hide last seen on Truecaller.

Additionally, Truecaller also shows whether you are currently engaged on a call, or if you’ve put your device in silent mode. We’ll show you how to hide that as well. The concerning aspect is that this option is enabled by default. However, you can only see the activity of other users on Truecaller only if they have installed the app on their device, and vice versa.

What Is Last Seen on Truecaller and How to Disable It

The “Last Seen” Truecaller means the last time a person was active on the Truecaller app. Last seen on Truecaller depends on when the person last used their phone with an internet connection and had the app open. Truecaller records your last seen time when you either manually open the app, or whenever the caller ID banner pops up during phone calls. However, information is not recorded if your device is not connected to the internet.

Last-seen data and other information are only shared if you are using an Android device. If you are using the latest version of Treucaller on your iPhone, other users will not be able to see your activity. Thanks to a few restrictions on iOS, Truecaller cannot capture and monitor your status. On your iPhone, you can still view the last seen and status of Android users of Truecaller.
